The deadly thrust

[Ben Floyd]

I don't know if this has been posted here or not. Stab away with a sword, but don't swallow a huge eff'ing needle.

After Eric Wiggins does some Mensur he should totally do this.

Yeah, that guy really creeps me out. Honestly I'm leaning towards believing he created a number of fistulas through his body to facilitate the trick but that in and of itself is still pretty incredible.

I'll give it a try, but Heinz has to impale me

[W.T.Heinz]

No no no. See what was missing from that video was a lovely scantily clad female assistant doing the stabby stab. Plus I'd probably throw up, and I am sure that'd cause healing complications.

I think that's actually the common consensus as to what he did, especially when compared with the number of scars already on his back, most likely from failed attempts. The guy probably walked around most of the time with steel rods in his body just to prevent the holes from closing. All of that and then to die from swallowing a needle because a voice in his head told him to do it. Definitely bizarre stuff.
