episode description

Biologist Thom Hunt goes in search of people with genuine, real-life super-powers that push the known limits of the human mind and body. In this episode Tom meets Ito Kinichi who claims to be the fastest human on all fours. Thom uses motion capture to analyse his unique form or human movement. In our second part Thom meets Juan Ruiz, who as a blind person, uses the unique form of echolocation to see the world around him. Thom attempts to learn the skill himself. Thom continues his quest to meet Biba Struger, who claims to be immune to electrocution. Using electrical wires plugged into an electrical socket, Biba uses his body to complete the circuit. Normal person would suffer a huge electrical shock, but Biba appears unscathed. Thom uses science to search for answers.
