A boy is contorting his body at
break-neck speed in a viral clip showing off the flexible stunt.
Watch as the boy snaps, crackles and
hugs his pop in this head-turning clip.
The unidentified child asks “say
when” before he twists his body a full 180 degrees to hug a man behind him
while his head faces forward, never taking his eyes off the camera.
In case you didn’t catch the “The
Exorcist”-esque trick the first time, the boy does it again in slow motion,
without the slightest flinch.
The boy gets an assist from a man
identified as his father, who holds his head in place as the child distorts his
body in the bone-cringing video.
The clip has gone viral since being
uploaded on Saturday, gaining nearly 500,000 views by Sunday afternoon.
Freaked out commenters warned the
boy about hurting himself if he continued his contorting tricks.
“This kid is risking paralysis or
stroke. Don’t do this,” Chris Duncan wrote on the video.
“It may seem funny or cute now but
later you may find you’ve damaged yourself beyond repair. Please stop,” Nene
Izzy said.
It is unclear if the neck-twisting
stunt is just a trick, as the boy accomplishes the feat with much less effort
than other flexible folks who have also done the bone-snapping turn.
A Russian man named Alexander from a
2006 "Tarrant on TV" clip was able to turn his neck 180 degrees
as well, but after much effort and concentration, unlike the child who was able
to snap into position.
Doctors said the man’s unique
ability was a congenital trait and not something that could be learned.
The video’s uploader did not respond
immediately to a Daily News request for comment.
