there are many different ways to set a
record and leave your mark in the
guinness world record book while some
have more at stake than others it's fair
to say that not all records are created
equal
there's only a select few genuinely
shocking achievements that are just
about guaranteed to take your breath
away today I'm going to show you some of
the craziest records that are almost
impossible to break brave enough to take
a look let's get it on
tallest bed of nails humans have limits
it's in our nature not to do things that
could hurt us so we could survive but
some people ignore those limits and do
crazy things anyway that's exactly what
these record holders did not only did
they decide to lie on a bed of nails but
they decided to become the tallest stack
of people on nail beds in history by
shockingly lying on top of each other
these 9 men each with their own bed of
nails were gently laid down on top of
one another each one not only has a bed
of nails on top of them for the next
person to lie on but just to make it
even more terrifying
they have nails trying to pierce their
skin from both sides imagine being the
guy on the bottom lying on a nail bed
with another nail bed on your chest and
eight grown men on top of that he was
pushing his limits for sure wingsuit
jump into boxes skydiving is way too
scary for most people to attempt however
skydiving without a parachute is
literally insane and most of us would
consider it a death sentence that there
was a man who didn't the stunt man Gary
Connery he decided that jumping out of a
helicopter without a parachute and
landing on a pile of boxes would be a
fun thing to do one afternoon so he did
it this stunt is just as incredible as
it sounds he wore a specially designed
wingsuit which would help him to glide
the 2,400 feet to the ground and make
him the first person ever to jump from
such a dizzying height without a
deployed parachute and lived to tell the
tale all he had to do is break his 45
second 80 mile-per-hour plummet toward
the ground with a strip of cardboard
boxes
18600 of them it certainly was a leap of
faith and just in case you weren't sure
against all odds he did actually manage
to survive the previously impossible
stunt fastest mountain bike mountains
and bikes don't make the safest
combination even at the
best of times so what happens when you
add in breakneck speeds and kick it up a
notch frenchman eric barone can tell you
he took his bike up the Alps to break
his own downhill mountain biking record
but as scary as mountain biking sounds
to most people
Verone added in an extra element to
increase the danger snow in a wind chill
temperature below freezing wind speeds
topping 40 miles per hour and slippery
snow her own broke his very own fastest
downhill mountain biking on snow record
with a white-knuckle 140 1.49
8 miles per hour but just in case you
were thinking what could go wrong have a
look at this a lot can go wrong as it
turns out as his previous attempt shows
a previous attempt a few years ago
caused a crash which saw Barone break
his femur and six ribs it's actually not
as easy as it looks which is really
saying something since it doesn't seem
easy at all deepest ice-free dive
falling into the ice is incredibly
dangerous since your body is programmed
to panic under those harsh conditions
the cold shock makes you hyperventilate
and breathe in water the dark disorients
you so you struggle to find your way
back out and your protects women uses a
vital energy many people don't survive
it now imagine someone crazy enough to
do that to themselves on purpose in 2019
New Zealander Anthony Williams achieved
the world record for the deepest free
dive under ice armed with nothing but
fins in a diving suit he plunged an
incredible 230 point six feet under the
ice of a frozen fury in Norway the dive
lasted two minutes and 29 seconds as he
held his breath overcoming the
incredible mental and physical
challenges of diving under ice it's not
only the biting cold he had to contend
with
he described the darkness as possibly
his greatest challenge saying it was
incredibly difficult to sink into the
black depths of the water all alone
without panicking 157 days swim some
people are content to just break World
Records after all it's a pretty big deal
but other superhumans
out of their way to ensure nobody can
top them that's what British adventurer
Ross Edgeley did when he broke the
record for the longest stage sea swim by
swimming around the entire mainland of
the United Kingdom that already sounds
insane and incredible but it's just the
tip of the iceberg the swim is an
incredible 1791 miles long and took 157
days for Edgeley to complete but he
broke the record way back on day 74 of
the ultimate marathon swim he didn't
stop though
never once stepping foot on dry land
despite battling incredible pain and
chafing from his wet suit that was
taking skin off his neck jellyfish
stings whirlpools near hypothermia that
left him picking ice off his wetsuit
major storms and a disintegrating tongue
due to overexposure to salt from the
seawater
he only rested occasionally on a
catamaran carrying his crew who
accompanied him but he was in the water
swimming for an incredible 12 hours a
day this is one record we're not likely
to see broken anytime soon most BASE
jumps in 24 hours when performing a
stunt that requires you to risk your
life you generally don't want to overdo
it and tire yourself out then again
maybe your miles day shirt he doesn't
know the meaning of the word tired and
that's why he holds the world record for
the most human powered BASE jumps in 24
hours for a base jump to be human
powered it requires the person doing the
jumping to also make their way to the
top of whatever they're jumping off on
foot day sure was jumping off of 486
foot high bridge and by now you're
probably wondering how many times he
risked his life jumping off that bridge
only to have to walk back to the top the
answer is 63 this truly incredible feat
not only required 68 leaps of faith but
a total of thirty thousand six hundred
and eighteen feet of climbing back to
the top which for the record is more
climbing than if they sure had climbed
to the top of Mount Everest in fact the
combined climbing from only 60 of his 63
BASE jumps would have got him up Everest
and all this completed within 24 hours
and without any injuries highest urban
slackline will never tire of watching
amazing people walk across any tiny
piece of rope from the classic circus
tight road to the
exciting slackline but you've never seen
a slackline quite like this one before
this one was set up to give people the
chance of breaking the world record for
the highest urban slackline walk with a
harness of course for a record like that
the height has to be truly spectacular
and this doesn't disappoint
it was strung across two skyscrapers in
Moscow but not just any two one is the
second tallest building in Europe and
the other which was under construction
during the attempt was set to become the
tallest this attempt dwarfed to the
previous eight hundred and ten foot high
record with a dizzying 1140 eight feet
Daredevils from all over the world were
allowed to attempt the incredible walk
above Moscow's business district and
seven amazing people from four countries
managed to complete the breathtaking
challenge with one even trying out a bit
of yoga while hanging from the piece of
netting attached to a skyscraper just
because more than one person achieved
this done it clearly doesn't mean
there's anything less than spectacular
about it
restraining for motorcycles there are
some truly remarkable displays of
strength throughout history and this may
be the most spectacular the Austrian
World's Strongest Man competitor Franz
Mueller decided that the best way to
showcase his Herculean strength was to
physically restrained not one but four
motorcycles each bike was attached to
one of his limbs in a setup which is
slightly reminiscent of some form of
medieval torture then the professional
riders get a chance to do what they do
best professionals were essential
because they needed to ensure that each
motorbike exceeded 500 Newton's of force
otherwise Mueller would have lost the
world record which proves his hard work
the strength it took to restrain the
motorcycles was incredible with just as
one leg having to hold back 385 point 8
pounds at one point and all his limbs
had to handle that in tandem still he
managed to take it a step further than
anyone expected he only needed to
restrain the bikes for 10 seconds to get
the world record but somehow managed to
hold them back for an astounding 24
seconds at least now we all know who
wins in the battle between man and
machine
tallest house of cards there are things
at first which don't seem impressive
until you see them done by an expert
and Berg is one of those incredible
people who's proven beyond a doubt about
how amazing card stacking can be in 2016
he broke the record for the world's
tallest house of cards built in 12 hours
still not impressed what if I told you
the house of cards was ten point eight
feet tall in the card equivalent of a 48
story house still not impressed what if
I told you he built it on top of a
running washing machine Brian is
actually an architect so if he can build
the world's tallest house of cards on
top of a washing machine which is
spinning at 1,000 rpm while standing on
a ladder he should probably be designing
skyscrapers for places that suffer from
earthquakes Ironman speed most people
accept superhero movies as fiction
they're only a dream like flying but not
everyone accepts that dreams are just
dreams
that's where British inventor Richard
browning comes in he's built himself a
flying suit effectively becoming a
real-life Iron Man in 2017 he took the
world record for fastest speed in a body
controlled jet engine powered soon at a
speed of 32 miles per hour which is
already impressive then in 2019 he
appeared again in an all-new 3d printed
lightweight suit to try and beat his own
record in the skies above the historic
bright you fear he didn't beat it though
he smashed it with an incredible speed
of 85 point zero six miles per hour
the incredible suit is controlled by
body movement alone has the ability to
fine-tune its power mid-flight and
features leg wings and legs straits
which can lift the flyer aerodynamically
like a plane which allowed the new model
to break the record by putting more
power into propelling rather than just
lifting him off the ground it apparently
does feel just like flying in a dream
hopefully one day soon we'll all be able
to fly around in one of those two hey
he's still there
