Who does not remember this famous trick immortalized by the King of Pop.
Michael Jackson surprised with his dances. He was the first to add it to live shows as a major attraction. A well-remembered trick is the one where, in the middle of the stage, the artist leaned forward, defying the law of gravity... and didn't fall. Impressive! A group of scientists produced a report on one of his most successful choreographies.
The study indicated that most dancers with a very strong trunk achieve a maximum bend of 30 degrees when performing Jackson's famous stunt, while Michael was able to bend 45 degrees easily.
Three neurosurgeons from the Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India, set out to scientifically examine the anti-gravity tilt introduced by the artist in the "Smooth Criminal" music video.
Nishant Yagnick and his colleagues determined that the
King of Pop's milestone was due to several factors, including his talent,
muscular strength, inventiveness and the use of shoes that the artist
himself patented, with a heel that had a hole that They were attached to
fixed screws on the stage surface.
