He calls it the "Boiling Water Challenge".

If it is real, what condition is this man in now? I would guess that he'd be lucky to be alive.

1This question is still new, but has a lot of deleted comments and answers. Please remember your opinions are not highly-valued here. Supporting evidence is required.– Oddthinking ♦Oct 24, 2014 at 8:28

2Please could you give an indication of what would constitute "supporting evidence" given that observations of questionable elements of the video appear not to be sufficient (e.g. lack of steam)?– user18604Oct 27, 2014 at 7:47

3@Skl whether there is visible steam is not an opinion, it is an observable fact, likewise lack of visible bubbling of water in the pan (which is briefly visible). It seems odd that the existence of similar videos (at least one of which I would suggest is probably real) are O.K., but not discussion of observable evidence in the video itself.– user18604Oct 27, 2014 at 13:13

1Are you saying that I need evidence to support the idea that boiling water gives off steam (which is visible when it condenses in the cooler ambient air)? While water not giving off visible steam is not absolute proof that it is not boiling, it is an observation which is more consistent with it not being boiling than it being boiling. Evidence is not binary.– user18604Oct 27, 2014 at 14:50

1Nobody is trivialising anything, however the absence of visible steam (or turbidity in the water) points towards the water not being boiling hot. Hence it is relevant to the question of whether the video actually shows boiling water being poured on someones head, even if it doesn't unambiguously answer the question (and nobody was claiming that it did). Given these restrictions, I don't see how this question could possibly be answered without further evidence from the originator of the video.– user18604Oct 28, 2014 at 9:25
