According to Daily Mail, Lanham found his strange quirk at the age of 14 after a high school gym class accident. He reported that while climbing a rope, he lost his grip and fell straight 18 feet before landing with his feet in an incredibly awkward position. Everyone thought that he had dislocated his knee, but he discovered a new ability.
Yes, it is hard to believe that a man can turn his legs in the opposite direction so perfectly. Doctors who have examined Lanham said he has double joints. Medically known as hypermobility, is where joints can stretch further than usual. His double cartilage and extra tissue in his bones, hips and ankles that allow him to distort his legs and walk with ease. It is his peculiar talent that earned him two world records for being the fastest man to walk in his feet backwards over 20 metres.
