Not being one to stagnate, he continued to break his own record, most recently surviving an 11.56-m (37-ft 11-in) dive in September 2014. Professor Splash has also taken the title for the highest shallow dive into a fire after diving from a height of 8 m (26 ft 3 in) into a pool of flames to showcase his mastery of more than one element. Elisa Cagnoni belted out the world’s loudest female burp on June 16, 2009. Reaching a total of 107.0 dB. – that’s like hearing a jackhammer from less than a meter or 3 ft away – she shattered not only a world record but also a few well-ingrained notions about women and burping. That is how long 582 people continued their marathon chant at the Hanuman Temple in the Dallas suburb of Frisco, Texas, to break the previous world record. The group was led by Hindu spiritual leader Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji and achieved the feat in July 2022. In case you were wondering, they released 24 mousetraps on her tongue in one minute. The fearless performer also held the record for the most stops of an electronic fan’s blades with her tongue (32!) until it was broken by Ashrita Furman, the most prolific record-breaker in Guinness World Records, with a 35. His world record pilgrimage has led him to all seven continents, including Antarctica, and he has crossed 321 “nations, island groups, and territories” while preaching from the Bible. One of these is the world’s largest skinny dip, completed by 2,505 women who stripped naked and dove into the icy cold North Atlantic waters off the coast of Wicklow, Ireland. The feat, like other Guinness World Records, had an awareness-raising component; the event was held to raise money for children with cancer and to raise breast cancer awareness. One of his records includes 117 jumps on a pogo stick with no feet in 2014. Fred got his start when he was eight-years-old and received a pogo stick for Christmas. Making for striking photos, this fascinating record might be something to chase if you have the patience – and hairy disposition. Kevin started training for his world record attempt with Ramon noodles before progressing to spaghetti. He can blow one end of the spaghetti out one nostril and the other end out the other, creating a “nasal floss” effect – enjoy your next bowl of spaghetti with that visual in mind. Apparently, you just have to try it. On September 1, 2004, Ilker Yilmaz set a world record by doing precisely that. Yilmaz squirted milk from his eye socket to a considerable distance of 9 ft 2 in (279.5 cm) at the Armada Hotel in Istanbul, Turkey. Chayne pulled a rickshaw carrying three ladies and more than 100 kg (220 pounds) of metal weights, and he hooked fish hooks into the lacrimal bones beneath his eyes to connect the Rickshaw to his eyes. Stanton passed a piece of metal 11′ 10′′ (363 cm) through his nose. The record was set while filming “Lo Show Dei Record” in Rome, Italy. The record was set by a very affectionate couple from Thailand – Ekkachai Tiranarat and Laksana Tiranarat, who not only set a Guinness World Record but also received a cash prize and two diamond rings. He started his Guinness World Records journey in 1979 after completing the most consecutive jumping jacks (27,000). His other records include the longest distance cycled underwater, the longest distance balancing a milk bottle on his head, and the fastest mile while somersaulting. Thomas Blackthorne of the United Kingdom put the theory to the test and has a world record to prove it. On August 1, 2008, at El Show Olimpico in Mexico City, Mexico, Blackthorne used his tongue to lift an unbelievable 27 lb 8.96 oz (12.5 kg) – that is the weight of an average three-year-old. He has been a regular entrant in the record books since he began his marathon task in 1982 following an injury and illness. To obtain the record, Les went through seven manual typewriters, 1000 ink ribbons, 19,890 pages, and 16 years, 7 months. During the ride, he and two outriders communicated using a three-way radio system. But that was not the end of his blindfolded fun. During Top Gear’s 2004 series, he drove a lap of their circuit as a guest, credited as the “Blind Man!” The coveted record isn’t Herrero’s first; he also retains the one-minute record for the same improbable talent. That should be the end of that. However, it needs to be said that Wang Lei chainsawed four more apples from Wang Xinli’s mouth than they did during their last time on December 22, 2019. Yes, some people lack sense several times. A feat that indeed must have left him with fantastic blood pressure, zero sinus issues, no chances of a headache for at least ten years, and unknown levels of relaxation.
