Man balances head on nail

Where I come from the expression hitting the nail on the head is used when somebody describes what a problem is.

However, things must work a bit differently in China if what Li Xin can do is anything to go by.

The crazy stuntman has been pictured balancing himself upside down, on top of a nail!

Apparently Xin has been perfecting the feat for the past 20 years and somewhere along the line a screw must have went loose because this is just nuts.

How he is able to put his full weight on the nail without incurring any long-term damage is anyone's guess, but he was left with a nasty looking indentation afterwards.

This definitely falls into the 'don't try this at home category', unless you happen to have a steel-plated skull.

As if that wasn't mad enough, Xin can also balance his stomach on top of the nail as well.
