Mirin Dajo
Mirin Dajo , real name Arnold Henskes (born August 6, 1912 in Rotterdam ( Netherlands ), † May 26, 1948 in Winterthur (Canton of Zurich, Switzerland)), was known for his demonstrations in which he pushed sharp objects through his body let.
Dajo himself commented on his actions with the words: “ You see, I am invulnerable, and I have known that I am invulnerable for two years. However, I had trained with this goal a long time before. But two years ago an overly elastic weapon bent off when I punctured my lung and ran right through my heart. Since then I have had the absolute certainty that I am invulnerable. "
Allegedly, he proved his invulnerability during demonstrations and examinations in the presence of medical professionals. Recovered original camera recordings from September 1947, which were also published on the Internet, illustrate that Mirin Dajo accepted piercing parts of his body with a foil without any noticeable arousal of pain. Dajo died at the age of 35, according to Swiss journalist Luc Bürgin of complications from an infectious disease , but according to the coroner, of an aortic rupture .
