There are a lot of weird Guinness World’s Records, but I don’t even know how someone came up with this category:
John and Amy Bruney became the new champs Thursday in the category of one person skipping rope on a bed of nails resting atop another person.
Still, it does require dedication:
John Bruney tells The Journal Gazette he told his music-teacher wife, “Don’t stop no matter what you hear below.” He says Amy’s rope-skipping knocked the wind out of him and left his ribs aching.
Each to his or her own I suppose.
So the nails were pointing down?
