      It's genetic.
      Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is an inherited connective tissue disorder with heterogeneous presentations that have been classified into several primary types. Naming and classifications prior to Beighton's 2008 nosology, revised in 1997, can be considered obsolete. EDS is caused by a defect in the synthesis of collagen, specifically mutations in the COL5A and COL3A genes.
      The collagen in connective tissue helps tissues resist deformation. Collagen is an important contributor to the physical strength of skin, joints, muscles, ligaments, blood vessels and visceral organs; abnormal collagen renders these structures more elastic. Depending on the individual, the severity of the mutation can vary from mild to life-threatening. There is no cure, and treatment is supportive, including close monitoring of the digestive, excretory and particularly the cardiovascular systems. Occupational and physical therapy, bracing, and corrective surgery may help with the frequent injuries and pain that tend to develop in certain types of EDS, although extra caution and special practices are advised to prevent permanent damage.[1]
      Frankly, this is one talent I have NEVER envied!

    I saw another video with him where a doctor explains it. It's called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Basically a normal person's collagen is woven something like a basket, where this guy has "disorganized" collagen.

    Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome


    Edit: Whoops, I see Steve beat me to it.

    Just when you think you've got it all figured out, someone changes the rules.

        Okay,

        That certainly has the gross factor! Ewww! Yucky!

        I actually feel sorry for the guy though he obviously has come to terms with it.

        But, like, so when he's in his 70's and 80's is his skin going to hang down like that all by itself.

        Will he get wrinkles or not? :confused:

          That's what I'm wondering. Of course, on the other hand, if his condition keeps him FROM getting wrinkles in old age, it might not be all that bad...

    Okay, the first thing he did was pretty disgusting. I was thinking it would've been better if he has more weight? I think it's making it worse with him being skinny. I would have to second to that, this is one of those talents I would never dream of having.

      That's what I was thinking, maybe a few months of visiting Mc Ds, will fill that skin out a bit.
