Top 20 craziest world records of all time. People have long suggested that the physical abilities of the human body are limitless. While experts are looking for a scientific explanation for this, ordinary people on our planet continue to prove this statement, setting records that simply cannot be believed. Today we will share the top 20 insane world records of all time.

Alex Segura
After all kinds of experiments and investigations, science has proved that an average person can live without oxygen for approximately 5 minutes. Maybe 9 minutes in the case of a trained diver. However, this did not prevent Alex Segura from staying underwater without air for as long as 24 minutes and 3 seconds. Two years later, Budimir Shobat beat this record and stayed without oxygen for 8 seconds longer. Now that really is breathtaking.

Silvio Sabba
The record is 45 and was achieved by Italian fitness trainer Silvio Sabba. That might not knock your socks off, but its appearance in our list is due to Sabba being a serial world record holder. He currently holds 70 titles, including most clothes pegs on your face in one minute (51), most Ferrero Rocher chocolates stacked in a tower (12), most AA batteries held in one hand (48), most sugar cubes balanced on the chin (17), most CDs balanced on the finger (255), and fastest time to shell a boiled egg (2.66 secs). Sabba even has a tattoo saying “Guinness World Records” on his right forearm.
Luke Aikins
American skydiver Luke Aikins made a phenomenal and scariest record in the world jumping from a height of 7.6 km without a parachute. No one has ever done this before! The 42-year-old so-called “daredevil” in California successfully landed on the tensioned platform between construction cranes at 20 floors. When he regained consciousness, he immediately embraced his wife and loved ones.
In the air, the speed of a skydiver was almost 200 kilometers per hour. At the first moments of the two-minute flight, Luke was accompanied by paratroopers with cameras and a supply of oxygen. This most insane and crazy record took a year and a half to prepare.
Luke Aikins is a professional skydiver who started doing his favorite thing as a teenager. He’s got 18,000 jumps behind him.
Johan Schwartz
Car instructor Johan Schwartz became a record-breaker in the field of non-stop car drifting in 2018. Drift is a controlled skid during which the car moves at an angle.
Johan Schwartz drifted the BMW M5 in a circle for 8 hours without stopping. To set this insane Guinness world record without stopping for refueling, the BMW specialists have devised how to fill the tank on the move. Another car was launched into a parallel drift, and the stuntman sitting in it was pulled out of the window to connect a hose to Schwartz’s BMW and pump the right amount of petrol into it.
As a result, for five refuelings, 374 kilometers, and 8 hours, Schwartz managed to set a new world record. By the way, the last set record was less by 210 kilometers.
Pastor Kevin Fast
Another entry in the Guinness Book of Records is dedicated to the accomplishment of St. Kevin, a 51-year-old Canadian priest serving in St. Paul’s Church in Ontario. The priest has been involved in sports since the age of 12 and regularly sets records in powerlifting. And while many of them are known around the world, one is considered exceptional.
In 2009, Kevin Fast decided to move the 189-ton military aircraft CC-177 Globemaster III. As a result, the man surpassed his ambitious goal, not just by moving the aircraft but also by moving it almost 9 meters.
Laso Schaller
Swiss cliff diver Laso Schaller set a world record in diving from heights. After going to the Alps, he jumped from a natural elevation of almost 59 meters (58.8). For comparison, 19-floor houses reach the same height.
Several ionizers were previously submerged in the water to soften the surface of the reservoir he was supposed to land in. However, even after that, this was an extremely dangerous world record because the expected fall rate was about 120 km/h.
As a result, the Swiss speed was 3 km/h higher than expected, but, thanks to the correct entry into the water, Schaller managed to get away with a small injury to his right leg.
Derek Herron
Australian Derek Herron set a world record by throwing the basketball ball from a height of 201,422 meters, standing at the top of Malenzunyan Falls in Africa. The record-breaker, supported by insurance ropes, threw the ball from the very edge of the falls. It didn’t take him one shot to hit the target.
In the end, however, the ball finally hit the basket. Herron says that the beauty of the place where he decided to set a record helped him achieve his goal. It was essential for him to not only do the impossible but also to do it with his soul.
Nick Stoeberl
Nick Stoeberl from California has joined the list of shocking world records and entered the Guinness Book after his tongue was recognized as the longest in the world! The record holder’s tongue is 10.1 cm long, from tip to tooth level. He said, “If I get my face dirty during lunch, I don’t have to use napkins; I just lick the leftovers of food. The only drawback is that I have to spend a lot of time on oral care.
Robbie Maddison
Robbie Madison made the highest jump on a motorcycle. On December 31, 2008, in Las Vegas, he was able to jump a copy of the Arc de Triomphe de Paris. The height of the jump was 36.5 meters.
Robbie is a star of motocross and consistently participates in competitions of varying difficulty. And in such an unusual way, he decided to celebrate the new year 2009. His jump was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records. After taking off on the arch, Robbie decided to surprise the audience again and jumped from the arc. You can say that fear didn’t stop this man.
This isn’t the first record Maddison set. Besides the highest, he also jumped the Corinth Canal.
Molly Schuyler
In addition to the hot dog eating competition, which was held in the U.S. on Independence Day, the Americans determined the fastest burger eater.
It was Molly Schuyler, an American from California, who weighed less than 60 kg.
The organizers of the competition reported that this time Scaler ate 32 buns and cutlets in 10 minutes, breaking her record, and as the winner received the main prize—a check for 1.5 thousand dollars.
The second place went back to a Pennsylvania resident, Dan Kennedy. He ate 24 burgers in 10 minutes and got $850 for it.
Curiously, Schuyler doesn’t just specialize in burgers. The previous year, she ate 501 chicken wings in 30 minutes and earned $5,000, as well as a car.

Dougie Lampkin
One of the best world records of all time that you won’t believe happened was set by Dougie Lampkin, who overtook the famous Isle of Man single-wheeled track! The track is almost 60 kilometers long, with a driving time of 1 hour and 35 minutes. All this time, a skillful biker had to keep the balance at all road “jokes,” like altitude differences, to fight with the wind. This 60 km is famous worldwide as the place of “Isle of”Man”—the most dangerous highway motorcycle race of the planet.
Arrow Shot Using Feet
Former circus performer Brittany Walsh, of Portland, Oregon, earned her place by firing an arrow 40 feet 4 inches, operating the bow with her feet while doing a handstand on a pole. How many others have attempted this feat is unclear. Brittany’s skills require a large amount of training in order for her to have the optimal amount of flexibility and balance required to undertake this great technique. She has an 11-year career as a circus performer, and her charismatic charm comes across in her performances. Over the past year she has been working in Las Vegas, performing at Planet Hollywood and The Venetian.
Pine boards broken record
Chris and Lisa Pitman from Biggin Hill, Kent, broke the most pine boards for a pair in a minute using one hand. Mr. Pitman, 49, smashed 315 and his wife, 45, did 230.
The martial arts pros last year said that ‘anyone that says world records are easy—don’t ever believe them!’.
Chris and Lisa also hold the male and female records for the fastest time to break 1,000 roof tiles with 51.08 seconds and 83.98 seconds, respectively.
Largest hula hoop spun
Getti Kehayova has an entry for the largest hula hoop spun. She is a hula hoop instructor and decided to take her passion to the next level with her entrant.
Based in Las Vegas, she aims to help anyone maintain a ‘positive attitude’ with her dynamic and energetic hula hoop fitness classes.
She had previously said, ‘My goal is to inspire and motivate people to restore their bodies, stay active, healthy, and feel positive.
‘My highly energetic and positive attitude will have everyone motivated to keep twirling their way to feeling fit, strong, and ready to take on the world.’
Longest Time in Ice
If you’ve ever tried to dunk your hand in a bucket full of ice and keep it there for a while, you’ll definitely know what I mean. Austrian athlete Josef Koeberl broke the world record for longest time spent submerged in ice on August 10th, 2019. He lasted more than two hours in the box, wearing nothing but a swimsuit. With a time of two hours, eight minutes, and 47 seconds, Koeberl beat the previous time spent in direct, full-body contact with ice of one hour, 53 minutes, and 10 seconds. The record was previously achieved by Chinese athlete Jin Songhao in Xiamen, China, in 2014.
Crush watermelon with thigh
The Internet calls her “the watermelon girl”—a name earned from her videos crushing the large, oblong fruit with the force of her bare thighs. Olga Liaschuk, from Kyiv, Ukraine, is the Guinness world record holder for breaking the fruit with her legs in the fastest time and was invited to share her unique talent with the world.
It’s attracted the kind of viral attention that could get someone meme-ified, destroyed, and spit back out after their 15 minutes of dubious fame, but not Kortney Olson, who created her first watermelon-crushing video in 2009.
Car Balanced on Head
Have you ever lifted and balanced your car on top of your head? Of course not! Unless you’re the next guy on this list. But honestly, the whole thing sounds dangerous and impossible! Holding a car on top of your head would require a lot of strength. However, there is a person who was able to do this, and his name is John Evans. He holds the Guinness Record for balancing the heaviest car on his head.
Strongest Human Tongue
What’s the heaviest food you’ve eaten? That’s a question no one really asks. Because usually, when we eat, we never really think about the weight of food. But things are a bit different for Thomas Blackthorne, who lifted 11 kilos worth of weight with…his tongue! He lifted those 11 kilos with the strength of his tongue and held them for about 5 seconds without getting hurt. It took him six years to prepare for this moment.
Most Atlas stones lifted
Move over World’s Strongest Man, as this incredible woman has made her way into the records with a unique talent.
Michelle Kinney has an entry this year for the most atlas stones lifted and was seen lifting the stones as though they were as light as a feather.
In order to keep her fitness levels to the highest standards Michelle also partakes in Cross Fit classes and training programmes.

Pulling an airplane
What would you say to people who claim that they are able to move an airplane by simply using their strength? You’d probably think they’re crazy. And that’s exactly how people felt back in 2009 when Priest Kevin fast told them that he was going to pull an airplane. He was able to do it over the length of 8.8 meters, and he even claims that he could have gone a bit further if there hadn’t been a finish line. With the airplane event, he was able to make 65,000 dollars!
