Every year the number of unusual tricks and skills recorded in the Guinness Book of Records is growing. Many daredevils risk their lives to achieve high results, and grateful spectators present the heroes with surprised exclamations. Accounting for world records has been conducted since 1955 and includes a wide variety of facts, which are confirmed by a special commission. Anyone can fix unique skills. In this top, we have collected the 10 most incredible Guinness World Records.
1. Tom Sitas (breath hold for 22 minutes 22 seconds)
In the Chinese province of Changsha, a new amazing Guinness record for holding his breath by the German Tom Sitas was set. He spent 22 minutes and 22 seconds in the water in front of television cameras, thus beating the results of Peter Kohl (19 minutes 22 seconds) from Switzerland. Tom owes his victory to careful preparation: fitness classes in the pool, respiratory arrest training, a special diet of vegetables and nutritious fish oil. Thanks to exercise, he managed to increase lung capacity by as much as 20 percent and accustom his body to prolonged oxygen starvation. While in water, Tom can slow down his metabolism and go without air without harming his health.
2. Laso Shalle (World High Jump Record)
A unique jump from a height of 58.8 meters into the water was demonstrated by the Swiss extreme Laso Schallet. The record holder covered the entire distance from the top to the lake in 3.5 seconds, gaining a speed of 123 km per hour. The height of the jump can be compared with the height of the Leaning Tower of Pisa (56 meters) or the Tower Bridge (64 meters). Setting such a record required professional diving skills, since jumping from extreme heights is associated with a high risk of injury. Fortunately, Laso skillfully timed the flight and entered the water perfectly without receiving a single bruise.
3. Felix Baumgartner (jump from 39 km)
An incredible jump from the stratosphere was made by professional skydiver Felix Baumgartner, who covered a distance of 39 km to the ground. At the same time, the speed of its fall was about 1342 km per hour, which exceeds the speed of sound by 1.2 times. In order to set a record, Felix had to rise into the stratosphere on a special balloon filled with helium. The ascent took more than two hours, while the fall lasted 4 minutes and 19 seconds. The whole process was filmed on webcams: the jump was broadcast in real time to millions of viewers. Using a parachute, Felix successfully landed in New Mexico, near Roswell. It is noteworthy that thanks to this trick, Baumgartner became the record holder three times in different categories: the maximum fall speed, the highest balloon flight and the longest fall. Without a doubt, this is one of the most incredible and best Guinness records.
4. Luke Aikins (7.6 km skydive without a parachute)
An incredible world record for jumping without a parachute was made by American Luke Aikins. Having risen by plane to a point of 7.6 km, he jumped down, spending about 2.5 minutes in free fall, without a parachute behind him. The record holder successfully landed on a specially prepared net, stretched at the height of a twenty-story building and having a size of 30 × 30 meters. The most difficult thing, according to Luke, was to correctly time the landing and roll over on his back in time to avoid serious injury. During the fall, Aikins skillfully planned, focusing on the exposed grid beacons. The chances of dying while setting the record were high, so few would dare to repeat Luke's jump again.
5. Gao Bingo (the largest number of bees on a person)
In China's Shandong province, in 2015, one of the most dangerous Guinness records was registered - the number of bees on an unprotected person: for a long time, the body of a local resident Gao Bingguo was covered with almost 1.1 million insects. The weight of all individuals was 108 kg, while the previous record holder Jean Weiyem set a figure of 88 kg. Despite the fact that Gao loves beekeeping, insects caused him considerable discomfort: during the record setting, he received about 2000 stings. Before the event, Gao had to take a bath to eliminate the slightest odor, and his entire body was hung with queen bees. It took almost four hours for all the insects to flock, and the record holder himself remained in his underwear all the time. At the same time, Bingo's maximum body temperature reached almost 60 degrees.
6. Eric Baron (cycling speed record)
Our Top 10 also includes the Guinness world record for speed on a racing bike, set by Frenchman Eric Baron, also known as the "Red Baron". When descending from the mountain (altitude 2.7 km above sea level) on a specially prepared winter track in the Alps, he was able to reach a speed of 223.3 km per hour. The previous record also belongs to him and is 222.2 km per hour. In 2002, Baron received serious injuries and about 20 fractures during an extreme descent from the Cerro Negro volcano, so he carefully prepared for setting a new world record. To achieve the maximum result, Eric had to train hard, and the equipment itself and the bike passed multiple tests, including testing in a wind tunnel.
7. Darren Taylor (World Shallow Diving Record)
An incredibly difficult jump was performed by Darren Taylor from the state of Denver. The exclusivity of the trick lies in the fact that the record holder dives from an 11-meter tower into a pool with a small amount of water: only 30 centimeters. In order not to get injured and soften the blow, Darren literally spreads himself on the surface of the water. In this case, a huge amount of splash is obtained, for which the diver received the nickname "Professor of the Bulky". The record holder admits that in order to win, he had to comply with many conditions: low water and air temperature, calculation of wind strength, as well as complete calm and maximum concentration. True, for safety net under the pool, the organizers nevertheless laid several mats.
8. Terry Grant (a mile on two wheels in a car)
The famous British stuntman Terry Grant is known for his various car stunts. It is he who is engaged in extreme productions in popular blockbusters. Grant set a world record for driving on 2 wheels at Goodwood at the Festival of Speed, while driving a mile-long track in a straight line. The whole journey took him 130 seconds, which is 45 seconds more than his previous result. The stuntman already has several unique tricks in his piggy bank: he easily subjugates cars, for which his work is highly valued in the film industry. Terry himself says that he is not going to stop there, although the record was not easy for him: he needed a lot of concentration and hand strength to hold and turn the steering wheel.
9. Tyler Tony (throw the ball into the basket from the roof of a 162-meter skyscraper)
American basketball player Tyler Toney set an unusual Guinness record: with a well-aimed hit, he threw the ball into the basket from the roof of the huge Oklahoma Chase Tower skyscraper. The height of the building itself is 162 meters. Tyler is engaged not only in basketball, but also maintains his own video blog, where he published this unusual video. The comments do not indicate how many attempts the record holder made, but the hit was perfect. It is noteworthy that this is not his only trick. He also performed a hook throw, with the help of his head, blindfolded, there is a record of hitting the ball from behind.
10. Robbie Maddison (highest motorcycle jump)
At the end of 2008, Australian motorcyclist Robbie Maddison was awarded a place among the most incredible Guinness World Records. A dangerous jump was made in the center of Las Vegas during mass festivities. The extreme motorcycle was able to conquer the festive copy of the French landmark - the Arc de Triomphe, which is 36.5 meters above the ground. Robbie was able not only to take off on his bike to the top platform, but also risked jumping down from it. The height of the installation is about 15 meters. Robbie is a professional freestyle motocross stuntman, and he said he made his jump to celebrate New Year's Day 2009.
