2282 - Peng Shulin

I just ran across this (pun) recently although it seems to be from 2007/9. Everything I can find about this seems to point to this really happening.

A guy, Peng Shulin, got run over by a truck in 1995, was literally cut in half, and survived. Here's the first picture....




Here are some pictures of him after they sewed him up. They made a big cup holder for him to fit into and get around.




Push ups anyone? I wouldn't want to compete against him in a contest.



Here's some video from the accident. The only thing that I can figure is that anyplace that he would have bled out from was smashed shut.


Here are some links that have more information.

SNOPES - Snopes does not have a main topic post on this but has something in their urban legends message section. If this is fake it's the best documented fake around. But maybe the Chinese got the best of us with this one.

And then if you search 'man cut in half' (and lives) on google you come up with more than this one.

Angel - He seems to be making the best of a bad situation though.

Peg - At an American hospital they would have 'stabilized' him and sent him home.

That video is very disturbing!

Amanda - It looks real doesn't it?
