Lane's loop-de-loop stunt at 18:31 is one of the greatest in film comedy history.

How did he do that? I'm stumped. There seems insufficient forward speed for his loop to be genuine. Was there a wire? Was there a hand-hold at the top? Thanks for pointing this out.

I don't know how the stunt was done but it strikes me that this would make a great animated GIF with Lane going round and round, assuming a better quality video could be found.
