Smashed coconuts and watermelons, bottomless water bottles and wheel jumps: Four new world records were set at a record-breaking event in Hamburg on Thursday. The martial artist Muhamed Kahrimanovic smashed 16 watermelons on the stomach of a young woman in a given time. He set the world record in the unusual category “most watermelons smashed on the stomach of a bridge-making person in 30 seconds,” as confirmed by the Record Institute for Germany (RID). This is considered the German-language counterpart to the Guinness Book of Records.
Kahrimanovic also set a second record: He smashed 27 coconuts within 30 seconds. The peculiarity was that Kahrimanovic was blindfolded and he held a raw chicken egg in his batting hand.
Record also for extreme athlete Jens Gaude. He knocked the bottoms out of 40 glass bottles in a minute. Gaude aimed his elbow at the lids of the filled water bottles.
21-year-old Austrian Thomas Klausner set a record on a trials bike, a type of bareback mountain bike, by jumping over a prone person 60 times in one minute. He clearly surpassed the current record of 37 jumps established by RID.
