Here's the story behind that viral backflip that everyone's freaking out about

A horrifying video shows just how impressive VFX can be. 

An uncredited video of a backflip gone wrong went viral on Twitter this week, garnering more than 170,000 likes. In it, a man in stilettos tries to backflip, but when his heels make contact with the ground again, his body crumbles into gooey, fleshy chunks. 

It's unsettling, disgusting, and absolutely mesmerizing to watch. 

The original video is a collaboration between Shutter Authority, an Instagram account run by VFX artist Raghav Anil Kumar, and stunt YouTuber Jiemba Sands.
