Travis Pastrana's identity falsely linked to viral X-ray image

A viral X-ray image showing a human body filled with metal plates and screws has been falsely attributed to American extreme sports legend Travis Pastrana. The image, which gained significant traction on social media and was shared by Complex magazine, depicts a skeleton heavily reinforced with metal, leading some to compare the subject to ‘Iron Man.’

Nitro Circus, the company co-founded by Pastrana, officially clarified that the X-ray does not belong to him. Pastrana has also personally debunked the image during a podcast appearance. While the athlete has undergone numerous surgeries due to his career in freestyle motocross and rally racing, the specific X-ray circulating online is not his.
