Top 10 most “difficult” Guinness World Records

Since its establishment in 1995, Guinness World Records has recorded several exceptional cases that are difficult for anyone to surpass. Every year, the Guinness Book of Records is revised and published, acting as a compilation of recognized world records. Both natural phenomena and human accomplishments may be the source of the diverse records. These are the ten strangest and hardest records in the world to break.

1. The person who set the most records

Currently holding the most records in the Guinness World Records is Mr. Ashrita Furman, a 67-year-old grocery store owner in the United States. In barely 30 years, his love of breaking records has allowed him to set over 600 world records, more than 200 of which are still uncontested.

His records cover a wide range of odd and unusual feats, such as blowing a coin the farthest (about 4.94 meters), opening the most beer bottle caps with a chainsaw in a minute, blowing out a fire on a soldering iron with only his tongue, and performing 27,000 consecutive jumping jacks in a Manhattan gym.

2. Miraculous survivor of 2 atomic bombs

200,000 people were killed when the United States launched two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, on August 6 and 9, 1945.

Tsutomu Yamaguchi, an engineer, witnessed both of the atomic bomb blasts. However, he miraculously avoided death both times.

Yamaguchi, who was only 3 kilometers from the epicenter of the explosion, immediately leaped into a ditch when the first bomb hit on the Mitsubishi shipyard. He fainted and suffered severe burns to his face and hands after the horrific explosion and shockwaves flung him into a potato patch around 50 meters distant.

These consist of two bronze, three silver, and twenty-three gold medals. Every four years, the Olympic Games draw a large number of gifted athletes from throughout the world, but Phelps stood out in 2008 when he won eight gold medals. He also won World Swimmer of the Year in 2003, 2004, 2006, and 2007 and maintains a number of difficult Olympic records.
