Did you hear of him? He was a famous Vaudeville performer with extraordinary taking qualities.
I cite Wikipedia:
Richards began by letting people, including heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey, punch him in the gut. Dempsey hit him in the abdomen a reported total of 75 times. He then progressed to letting people jump on his belly, being struck by a two-by-four, being struck by a sledgehammer, and finally being shot by a 104-lb. (47 kg) cannonball from a 12 foot (3.6m) compressed air cannon. Richards limited his cannonball act to twice per day, as performing it more often was too painful."
