DareDevil: A man breaks world record after balancing 23 benches on just his teeth
A Chinese daredevil has broken a Guinness World Record after balancing a staggering 23 wooden benches on just his teeth in Chongqing, China.Thirty-year-old Li Hongxiao has been balancing objects in his mouth since he was a child.
But the stuntman surpassed all his previous achievements by successfully balancing the unusual load for 11 seconds, as audiences in the Dazu district of southwest China looked on in disbelief.
With each bench one metre long, 45 centimeters high and weighing in at 3kg, the combined weight stood at a whopping 69kg - almost as much as his 75kg body weight.
Li, from Tianqiao village in Chongqing, began performing a ‘lion dance’ at the tender age of eight to earn money for his family, the Daily Mirror reported.
After years of hard work and dedication the stuntman began to refine his performance and in 2000 he began holding up bamboo poles, ladders and benches with his teeth.
But it's not always been an easy ride for Li.
The first time he attempted to balance 12 benches, Li escaped with 18 stitches in his lower lip.
The previous Guinness World Record holder had mastered just 14 benches. Still... OUCH!
