Watch a man break Guinness record for balancing lawnmower on his chin
Thirty-year-old Frank Kasell of Akron, Ohio, had always wanted to crack the Guinness Book of World Records. Through sheer will and Guinness's apparent willingness to measure anything plus everything, Kasell achieved his dream on July 5 by very carefully walking 115 meters with a 17-pound push lawnmower balanced on his chin. Check out the footage (above).
The DC Sports Bog reports that Kasell, who had once tried to set the record for milk crates balanced on his chin, accomplished the lawnmower balancing record at the Lee High School track in Springfield, Ohio, on what he said would be his final of several attempts to break the previous record of 100 meters.
"It's obviously a very specific thing, but it's fun to know that I am the best at that one thing," Kasell said.
Kasell earns style points, too, for becoming the greatest lawnmower chin balancer while wearing a Hawaiian shirt and flip-flops.
