The skin-thin leather man, elastic like rubber
Gary Turner's skin is so elastic that he can turn his belly into a table and hold almost 2 liters of beer on it.
The 41-year-old man has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , a rare genetic disorder. Only 1 in 10,000 people will have this condition and the patient will have weak skin.
Gary Turner suffers from the rare Ehlers-Danlos with the world's most elastic skin.
The joints and blood vessels of most people with this condition will also be weak. Growing up, Turner loved sports, but he suffered constant injuries until his illness was diagnosed at age 13.
"When I collided, my blood vessels were broken and blood kept flowing. My skin had no tension to hold blood," Turner told ABC News, "If you look at your skin cells under microscope, you will see them very well, round and touch each other at many points, but my skin cells seem angular and do not fit together. "
Turner says his skin is just as thin as paper.
He added: "My skin is as thin as a normal skin. Although you may not believe it, my skin is really just as thin as paper."

Turner said he paid attention to his stretchy skin when he was only 3-4 years old: "At that time, my uncle was about 10 years old. He often pulled my skin to see friends. Looking at their reaction, I knew. I myself have something strange ".
