Motorcycle acrobat Richard Moltan rides on the "Highway of Death," 50 feet above a stunned audience, near Goslar, West Germany, July 6, 1952. The "highway" is an aluminum mesh cage that is six feet high and 15 feet in diameter. The gates, or "floor", on which the rider gets his start, open after he picks up enough speed. Moltan, who began his hair raising career in 1930, is back after a 10-year lapse caused by the destruction of his equipment during World War II. (AP Photo/Henry Brueggemann)
