I thought I'd add the link from the GoFundMe page that's been set up because it gives the most comprehensive account to what happened to the man in the video, Alexander Coreas. It's a miracle he's still alive:

...just stumbled onto this... I never knew the 'meaning behind' (or if there was any meaning) the ultra-famous DaVinci drawing of the Vitruvian Man... this explains it... kinda cool, actually...

..."Da Vinci was attempting to illustrate this, showing the ideal proportions of the human body and how they are in harmony with universal principles because a body can be fitted into both a square and a circle.

'It was seen as representing the unity of the Cosmos and the concept of Man being the measure of all things,' says Professor Martin Kemp, who has written a biography of the artist.

'Vitruvius said a man can be inscribed inside a square and a circle, and everyone thought that meant putting the centre of the two shapes on the same spot. Leonardo was the first to make it work by putting the two centres in different places. It's a brilliantly tricky drawing.'..."

Da Vinci stipulated that the belly button is the centre of the body when the arms are raised to form a circle with the feet. However, when the human body fits into a square, the centre is focused on the groin. Crucially, the length of a man's outspread arms is equal to his height.
