I think this is mindblowing.

What you see is vintage film material (late 40s) that was discovered a while ago.
The guy is Arnold Gerrit Henske. A dutch fakir that calls himself Mirin Dajo.
He became famous for radically piercing his body with all kinds of objects, and apparently without injury, even astounding the medical community at the time
Although not as widely documented as his sword piercing feats, there were claims by his name that said his invulnerability had been proven by numerous means. In the interview by TIME magazine, ( http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,797981,00.html?promoid=googlep ) he also declared his invulnerability having been tested with burning irons, boiling water, and having been shot through the head from half a yard distance in two opportunities. He supported this by exhibiting two scars allegedly from the shots, one in the center of the forehead, and the other above his right eye.
