This Guy Who Balanced A Running Lawnmower On His Chin For 9+ Minutes To Set A Guinness World Record Needs His Head Examined

UPI -- An Idaho man balanced a running lawnmower on his chin for 9 minutes, 17 seconds to break a Guinness World Record.

David Rush, who is on a quest to hold the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles, previously attempted the record about four years ago, but his time of 3 minutes, 52 seconds was disqualified because his lawnmower did not have a bag on it.

The record was increased in the meantime to 7 minutes, 2 seconds by fellow serial record-breaker Ashrita Furman.

Rush finished his attempt at 9 minutes, 17 seconds, short of his goal of 10 minutes but enough to take the title.

Again with these world record people being complete nut jobs. Listen I'm all for trying to push yourself to run a marathon the fastest, or collect the most of something etc but there has to be a line. And endangering yourself is where I draw that line. 

Now if this was just a regular dusty ass lawnmower and it was being balanced, have at it buddy, you wanna risk metal and shit dropping down on your face, God Bless. It's your reconstructive facial surgery Pal not mine. But it's when he mixed in the fact this fucking thing was running the entire time is where you have to get the man's head examined. 

Who does this shit? Who wakes up and decides that instead of cutting the grass, they will balance a lawnmower on their chin, and to make things more juicy... have it run the entire time. And even crazier is he went and looked this up to make sure this could be a record in the first place. Then to top things off the guy does it a few years back, and gets disqualified because he didn't put a bag on the mower. Just all time wackjobs all over the place here. Guinness Book of wackos holding records is more like it.
