Michael Jackson's impossible dance explained scientifically

In 1987, Michael leans at a 45 - degree angle while holding his body tight. The illusion, which many have tried to copy, is created by special shoes and artist power.

Manual Tripathy and colleagues from the Indian Chandigarh Institute of Medical Education and Research say that <x0 best trained dancers, with great spinal power, can reach the maximum at 25 to 30 degrees angle of bow, while performing such a movement. Michael Jackson already realized a 45 degree animation that challenges gravity and seems impossible for anyone who sees it”.

But how did he accomplish this? If a person tries to drop “Smooth Criminal” will note that the weight and tension shift to Achilles ' tendons in each key, not the back muscles of the spine.

This allows only a limited degree of bending even for someone who can share the athletic skills of Michael Jackson. But the latter has gained extra degrees thanks to his special shoes.

A V-shaped crack in the heel of each shoe allows it to bend even more forward. Before the patented invention of shoes, Michael was based on a rope that prevented him from falling, of special equipment around the waist, to create illusion.

He is said to have borrowed the idea of shoes from American astronaut boots that could be used by them when they were working in a lack of gravity. However, even with special shoes and physical power, the movement is extremely difficult, especially turning into vertical positions, so experts warn Michael Jackson's fans not to try to do so, as they may even get hurt.
