Holy crap.....17:28 static

[WreckRunner]

This is unreal......

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zpc9oGu6J4]YouTube - Guiness World Record- Tom Sietas - apnea 17'28'' !!![/ame]


Another 2.5 minutes and he'd meet the time requirement of a training dive in Scuba.

That is unreal. Half of this would make me happy for life!

You know it's a pure O2 static I presume? Not to downplay its achievement, but for clarity.

 

[WreckRunner]

Yeah, I didn't realize that at first. Feel kinda like Will Ferrell in Elf with "the world's best cup of coffee" reaction.

What is the breath hold record without assistance?

Is there risk of brain damage for breath holds this long?

 

[WreckRunner]

10 minutes 12 seconds........and no risk of brain damage.

What? You think you're a doctor now or something- pssshhh :t

 

[WreckRunner]

Ph.D. = "pretty hot and desirable"

you know it's true.........

David Blaine did something similar, but he was on pure oxygen before the stunt as well.

 

[1990gsx]

He was on pure oxygen before the stunt but took natural breaths for the stunt itself, I believe he failed didn't he?

 

[unirdna]

Yeah, Blaine failed. 7 minutes.

When I was a teen ager, my great aunt had an O2 tank for her emphysema. I breathed it for a few minutes through the nose thingy. Then I removed the tubes and opened the valve and took 10 big huffs... I watched TV for 5 minutes until I felt the first urge to take a breath.

... Then, I got grounded.

Oprah Winfrey Show on April 30, 2008.Blaine hold it for 17.04

 

[IronLung]

I've done 14:16 on O2. It's wild stuff; though its been over a year since I've done a breathhold on it. It's a rare treat I guess.

yeah, unless you get bored to death in such a long static... :hmm

Yes, I agree. O2 dynamics might be less boring for both the performer and for the spectators, hence I wonder when Sietas pulls a 300m or 400m O2 DYN or DNF on a TV show. Would be more fun than those O2 static shows that he does regularly. He did the stunts already perhaps ten times on German, Italian, French, US, Japanese, and Greek TV's, so I guess he may now have problems finding yet another TV channel still being interested in the boring show. He might success better with the O2 DYN.

 

[sgnips]

trux, we might set something up before he gets the idea...

Oh, nice to see he's still out there diving! One of the great divers in my opinion.
