"This is off-the-back-of-your-medicine-wagon kind of stuff," Dr. Douglas Foulk, assistant professor of sports medicine at the University of Colorado, told the Denver Post.

He is lassoed and dragged through a campfire. His right hand is held down while a sadist shoots a bullet through it. His aw-shucks tentativeness turns to high-pitched sputterings.
