In the section on the question do not blink? Are there any Guinness World Records for not blinking your eyes? Not blinking my eyes would like to try. given by the author Evgeny Rokhmachev the best answer is Well, it's very intelligent...

Answer from European[newbie]
You'll be in the Guinness World Records. I don't promise though. Maybe they'll give you money. But it is not exactly!


Answer from worldview[newbie]
Today I stood for 19 minutes 24 seconds without blinking


Answer from vitriol[newbie]
I didn’t blink for 11 minutes and that I broke the record or I didn’t understand something after that I just shed a tear and my eyes didn’t dry


Answer from Natalia[newbie]
Chinese man breaks staring record by standing for 57 minutes and 24 seconds without blinking


Answer from rational gaze[guru]
eyes dry


Answer from Vladimir Vetryakov[guru]
Everyone needs to blink. It's like turning on windshield wipers in a car with a supply of fluid to wash dirt off the windows. But snipers and athletes need it. You have seen how they shoot at the shooting range with headphones, mufflers. They do not blink and follow the arrow or bullet with their gaze from the moment of the shot to the very target. You can say whatever you want on this topic, but this is what professionals always do. I know the words of one sniper who claimed that he could not blink for 5 minutes. Obviously, in other cases, not blinking is very harmful to vision. There are glasses and a car is possible, but they will not be attributed to the records because of the danger to health. And there will always be imitators of any stupidity.

Many of us dream of setting a world record. Who wouldn't want to break the world record for blowing the world's largest gum bubbles or own the world's largest collection of traffic cones? But some record holders never planned or did not want to set any records at all.

1. Transfer to a tornado for a further distance and survive


Matt Suter was a 19 year old graduate high school when a storm hit his hometown of Fordland, Missouri on March 12, 2006. That Sunday, Suter was in his grandmother's trailer with his grandmother and disabled uncle. As the gusts of wind and rain hit the trailer, Suter was standing on the couch, trying to close the window, wearing only shorts.

At that moment, Suter heard a roar. “It got louder and louder, like ten military planes were flying right at us,” he said. The rear and front doors of the trailer blew out, and the walls, floor, and ceiling began to move "like jelly." The trailer began to tip over, the walls began to crumble. After that, the lamp hit Suter on the head, and he fell unconscious. As his grandmother saw, Suter's limp body was pulled out into the vortex.


It was an F2 tornado and carried Suter 398.37 meters, the length of four football fields. He woke up in a field alive and unharmed, apart from a small wound on his head. Miraculously, his grandma and uncle also survived the destruction of their trailer, but were littered with heavy furniture. Suter's record flight is not the first: in 1999, in Oklahoma, the girl survived when a tornado threw her 30 meters away. In South Dakota, a girl and her pony survived a 300-meter tornado ride in 1955.

2. The most prolific parents


There is a reality show that shows how the Duggar family of Arkansas survives with their 19 children. But how can you live with 87 children? No matter how strange the number may seem, but this record is recorded in "" for Fedor Vasiliev, an 18th-century peasant from Shuya near Moscow. Fedor and his two wives gave birth to 22 pairs of twins, nine times triplets and four times quadruplets.

Vasiliev was born around 1707 and became a father for the first time at the age of 18. Four years later they stopped. He said that all but two of the children survived infancy, a remarkable amount for the time. And when asked at the advanced age of 75, all of his 84 children were still alive. His fertility was so extraordinary that he was summoned to Petersburg to meet Empress Catherine II.

And who is the most prolific mother? This is the first wife of Fedor. But no one seems to be interested in her name because it has not been found, which of course is a shame, because she deserves a much greater reward than her husband. She eventually experienced 27 pregnancies and 69 births. The second wife of Fedor - also unknown - experienced only eight pregnancies and 18 births.

3. The heaviest people

It probably won't surprise anyone that the heaviest man and woman ever recorded are Americans. Of all countries in 2012, the United States has the highest percentage - 34% - of obesity.


John Brower Minnoch / © www.scratch-radio.com

John Brower Minnoch of Washington State weighed 135 kg at the age of 12. His weight steadily increased until he peaked at 635 kg in 1978. That March, he suffered heart and respiratory failure and it took 12 firefighters to transport him to University Hospital in Seattle. He was diagnosed with severe dropsy, and the doctor calculated that he had 400 kg of accumulated fluid. Minnoch was in the hospital for two years, lying on two beds pushed together. It took 13 people to turn it over.

During his stay in the hospital, Minnoch married a woman named Jeanette, and because she weighed only 50 kg, they set the record as the couple with the largest difference in weight. He was put on a 1200-calorie diet, and by the time he was discharged in 1980, he had lost 419 kg, the largest number lost kilograms ever recorded. But this seriously affected his body, and he died in 1983 at the age of 41.

In the Guinness Book of Records, the record for the heaviest woman is Rosalie Bradford from Florida, who reached a peak weight of 544 kg. Like Minnoch, Bradford struggled with obesity all her life, but that was before she got married and had a baby, which caused her weight to skyrocket. She was so depressed that she tried to kill herself with painkillers, but because of her weight, the pills just made her fall asleep for a few days.

After she contacted weight loss guru Richard Simmons, she went on a diet and started a workout program. At the beginning, the exercises consisted of clapping your hands. In the first year, she lost 190 kg, and in total she lost 317 kg - a record weight dropped by a woman. In 1992, she weighed under 136 kg, received an education - a degree in psychology and began to travel around the country, giving motivational speeches. She died in 2006 at the age of 63.

4. The largest number and size of kidney stones

By December 2009, 45-year-old Dhanraj Wadile, a shop owner in Shahad, India, had been living with severe abdominal pain for six months. Dr. Ashish Ravanale-Patil determined that Wadile was suffering from kidney stones. Using an endoscope and a scalpel, Dr. Patil spent four hours removing 172,155 calcium oxalate and phosphate stones ranging in size from a millimeter to 2.5 cm. All of them were taken from Vadile's left kidney.

Dr. Patil's team counted the stones for a month. Upon completion, they sent the stones to Guinness for confirmation. Of course, the book recorded the feat of Vadile, breaking the previous record of 14,098 stones removed from one patient.

The lucky record holder of the largest stone, also from India, is 37-year-old police officer Vilas Guge from Mumbai. In February 2004, Guge had a stone surgically removed, which was 13 cm across. Usually stones are no more than 9 cm in diameter. There is another contender: in 2009, a Hungarian named Sandor Sarkady had a stone weighing 1.13 kg, which was the size of a coconut, removed.

5. Survive a car crash at the highest speed

Donald Campbell holds eight World Land Speed ​​Records (RSR) and Water Speed ​​Records (RSV). He is still the only person to break both kinds of records in the same year. But on September 16, 1960, he set a record that he did not count on.


Donald Campbell / © historicalwritings.wordpress.com

Donald was the only son of Sir Malcolm Campbell, a racing pioneer and holder of 13 speed records (nine on land and four on water). Shortly after his father's death, Donald learned that an American was going to beat his father's RSV and decided that he needed to hold the banner of his family. In the 1950s Campbell steadily raised his RSV from 257 to 418 km/h. He constantly compared his success with his father's and often asked him best friend Sir Malcolm would be proud of him. And in 1960, the young Campbell took the RSZ, which once broke his father's record.

John Cobb / © www.motorsportretro.com

This record speed was 634 km / h, set by the British John Cobb. Cobb also set records on land and on water, and in 1952 he died trying to break Donald's record. Donald was confident that 643 km/h could be squeezed out of his Bluebird CN7, and he was on his sixth test run at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah when he lost control at 586 km/h. The structural strength of the Bluebird saved his life on that fateful day of September 16, 1960, but he suffered a fractured skull and a ruptured eardrum.


Bluebird K7 / © forum.keypublishing.com

Campbell raced again a few months later, but it wasn't until 1964 that the Bluebird reached the 648.5 km/h record. He turned his gaze back to the water and died on January 4, 1967, when he lost control of his Bluebird K7 at over 480 km/h. His body remained at the bottom of Coniston Water until 2001.

Source 6The longest time spent on a medical gurney in a hospital hallway

A new category was introduced in the Guinness Book of Records when Tony Collins, a 40-year-old Briton, reported that he had been on a gurney for 77 hours and 30 minutes. Collins is diabetic and contracted the virus, which sent him to the Princess Margaret Hospital in Swindon, England on Saturday 24 February 2001. He was told that he would have to wait for a hospital bed and was left on a gurney parked outside the bathroom at three o'clock in the afternoon.

“My back hurt, I didn’t have personal space, and I had to rely on nurses to bring me drinks because there was nowhere to put a pitcher.”

In the end. a room was found for him at 8:30 pm - Tuesday.

Ironically, while Guinness was studying Collins' application, he fell ill again and returned to the hospital. This time he lay on a gurney for 60 hours. Regarding his record, he said:

“Unfortunately, most likely it will be a record that changes every day in public service healthcare."

He referred to the National Health Service, the health care system funded by the British government.

Collins' predictions turned out to be true: in March 2013, 62-year-old Herbert Edwards was taken to the Great Western Hospital, also in Swindon, with a suspected heart attack. He waited for a room on a gurney for six days, a total of 144 hours. He did not, however, break Collins' record because he was in a designated area instead of a hallway. In the same hospital, 41-year-old June Rogers waited 157 hours for a bed, 88 of them on a stretcher. She didn't break Collins' record either, because her gurney clocks didn't run consecutively.

7. Amputations on the same arm


Some records are unlikely to be repeated, not only because no one wants to break them, but also because of the controversy that the record holder has created. Three amputations of Clint Hallam's arm is just such a record.

Hallam's first amputation occurred in 1984, when he was imprisoned in Christchurch Rollston for fraud in his native New Zealand. The circular saw cut him off right hand over the wrist. Surgeons put the limb back, but it became infected and was amputated again in 1988.

Ten years later, Hallam was offered the opportunity to receive the first hand transplant. He was sent to Lyon, France, where he was successfully reattached to the hand of a late French motorcyclist. Hallam later said that he hated a new hand from the very beginning:

“The donor’s hand was bigger than mine, bald and pink. My skin is olive and has hair on it. She didn't fit."

During his recovery, Hallam fell in love with his French nurse and left his wife, with whom he had been together for 12 years, and children. “Marty (nurse) is the only good thing the surgeons have given me,” Hallam said. “Besides her, I didn’t get anything.”

Hallam lost contact with his doctors and stopped taking his anti-rejection medication. Inevitably, his body rejected the arm, and it had to be amputated a third time in 2001. The medical world and its French surgeon were upset by the waste of a donor hand. Hallam asked for another transplant in 2002 but has yet to receive one.

8 Most Broken Bones


Evel Knievel / © www.evelknievel.com

Ever since he jumped into last time in 1977, Robert Craig Knievel, known as Evel Knievel, had 150 motorcycle jumps from ramp to ramp over various obstacles. He crashed or failed on 18 of those jumps. As a result, he suffered over 433 fractures in 35 different bones - a world record. He broke his skull, nose, jaw, both collarbones, both arms, both wrists, breastbone, each rib and back five times. In addition, he broke both ankles, some toes, right tibia, right knee, coccyx, left thigh, and broke his pelvis three times.

When did his first serious injury He hasn't even driven a motorcycle yet. In February 1966, Knievel tried to jump over a speeding motorcyclist. He jumped too late and was hit in the groin, throwing him 4.5 meters. A much worse accident occurred on December 31, 1967, when he tried to jump over the fountain at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, a distance of 43 meters. He jumped over the fountain, but landed badly, overturned the handlebars of a motorcycle and slid across the parking lot. His top part his legs and pelvis were shattered, he broke his hip, wrist, both ankles, and suffered a concussion that sent him into a 29-day coma.

The refusal to jump did not lead to a cessation of visits to the hospital. A fall on a golf course was followed by a hip replacement. Knievel fell into his own pool twice, breaking his ribs and knee. He received a liver transplant in 1999 after alcohol killed his own. Towards the end of his life, he wore a pump on his stomach that delivered morphine and synthetic heroin directly to his spine. He died on November 30, 2007 from pulmonary fibrosis.

9. Survive deadly accidents on the same day

Dosha, a 10-month-old pit bull mix living with her owner in Clearlake, California, had a very bad day on April 15, 2003. That morning, she jumped a fence to escape her yard, and then she was hit by a pickup truck. When the police arrived, Dosha had glassy eyes and a limp. Thinking the dog was mortally wounded, the police officer shot it in the head just below its right eye to end its suffering. Animal control arrived and put what they thought was a corpse in a plastic bag. They brought Dosha to the dog kennel and put him in a freezer. Two hours later, the worker opened the freezer and saw Dosha sitting, and she was still in the bag.

The officer's bullet traveled along Doshi's skull - narrowly missing her brain - and lodged in the skin under her jaw. The dog also suffered hypothermia, but no bones were broken after the first incident. Bullet fragments were recovered, but she lost some hearing in her right ear. For the fact that Dosha managed to avoid death three times, Guinness called her the luckiest dog in the world.

10 Hardest To Kill

Because they don't want people to compete for this record, Guinness doesn't have a special category for it. But if they do, they will become winners. Russian mystic Grigory Rasputin is a man who was poisoned, shot three times, castrated and thrown into a frozen river in one frenzied night before he died. But the record holder is undoubtedly Michael Malloy.

Malloy was a 50-year-old Irish immigrant living in New York in January 1933. He used to be a firefighter, but is now homeless and an alcoholic. Five acquaintances made a plan to take away three insurance policies and kill him. One of the conspirators owned a bar that illegally sold booze, and he gave Malloy unlimited credit in the hope that he would drink himself to death. But despite the fact that Malloy spent virtually every waking moment exercising his elbow, he did not die.

Frustrated, the bartender, another conspirator, substituted Malloy's whiskey for antifreeze. Malloy drank six drinks before he passed out - but he didn't die. For a whole week, Malloy drank nothing but antifreeze. Then there was turpentine. Behind it was liquid horse ointment mixed with rat poison. When raw oysters marinated in wood alcohol failed to kill him, the conspirators tried spoiled sardines sprinkled with nails on him. Malloy returned a few seconds later.

One night, the temperature dropped to -25°C, and the conspirators threw Malloy into a snowdrift and poured water on his bare chest. When that didn't work, another conspirator ran over Malloy in his taxi, causing the unfortunate man to fly like a rag doll. Then the conspirator ran over Malloy for insurance. After that, Malloy was admitted to the hospital for three weeks, but returned to the bar, complaining:

"I'm dying to drink."

In the end, they waited until Malloy passed out, put a rubber hose in his mouth, and turned on the gas. An hour passed before Malloy's face turned red, and he finally gave the order to live long.

The conspirators would have gotten away with it, but they argued about the money they received loud enough for the police to sniff out the scheme. They were tried, and four of the five conspirators were executed in the electric chair. They all died on the first try.
