A stuntman who broke his spine in a flying BMW less than a year ago has cheated death once more in a new daredevil feat.
Evgeny Chebotarev landed himself in hospital last September after launching the car over a river, sending it flying into the air before making a heavy impact on the other side.
At the time, the 31-year-old from Russia told fans he'd suffered from life-changing injuries, but that hasn't stopped him from taking on yet even more dangerous stunts.

Shocking footage of his latest caper has emerged, showing him jumping at speed from a Mercedes roof over a Mazda Roadster that has been secured above the ground on stilts. You can watch the clip below:
As you can see, Chebotarev leaps high into the air for a second before the Mercedes speeds under the Mazda.
He just about makes his landing on the back, somehow clinging onto the boot despite the window smashing on impact.

While the Rostov stuntman could've suffered further damage to his spine if he'd have missed the jump, he admitted that it wasn't the risky landing that proved dangerous.
Instead, Chebotarev revealed that he was hit on the head by one of the supporting pipes after it went flying from the impact - a blow that could have killed him.
Luckily he lived to tell the tale, writing on social media: "I almost crashed. My team [are great], how clear everything was [during the stunt].
"Were there pieces of pipe that hit me? Yes, a pipe [almost] blew my head off."

In response to the dramatic clip, one commenter said: "You do some of the most stupidly dangerous stunts I've ever seen. But I can't stop watching. Every video I see I'm like, oh you're still alive, that's good."
Another wrote, "I've just realised that the pipe nearly blew your head off," while a third added, "This is complete madness."
The fans are shocked, not least because of the injuries he suffered back in September when he told his followers: "Now I will struggle to live a fulfilling life."

Just four months after the near miss, Chebotarev was back to his old tricks with a minibus move.
In another heart-stopping video, the 31-year-old lay on a wooden frame as the vehicle rammed into it at 50mph, sending him flying through the moving bus with passengers still inside.
Explaining why he decided to go back to the extreme sport, he said: "I started from parkour and acrobatics. I am always on adrenaline, very active and want to be on the move.
"I train a lot, I do weightlifting in winter and add acrobatics once it gets warmer. Friends always called me a psycho. As far as I remember, I’ve always loved extremes.

"My first stunt was in 2018. To be honest I was really scared, my heart was quite literally jumping from my heart.
“But once the stunt was done, I felt such strong emotions. My pulse races before each trick, I love this feeling."
