He Did it! World Record Holder!!!

Filed under: Etc. > Oprah Winfrey > David Blaine

blain1__opt1.jpg

We had some doubts, but….he did it!!

David Blaine set a new world record Wednesday for breath-holding.

The illusionist and daredevil held his breath underwater for 17 minutes and 4 seconds!

Blain's attempt was broadcast live during the Oprah Winfrey Show on Wednesday.

According to reports, Blaine looked relaxed afterward and said the record was "a lifelong dream."

The previous record was 16 minutes and 32 seconds, set Feb. 10 by Switzerland's Peter Colat, according to Guinness World Records.

"I feel great," Blaine said after he broke the record.

While he was submerged he started to develop an irregular heartbeat. And, yet, he went through with it anyways.

Congrats! Idiot!

      david blane is so fucking annoying
      generally, people who try and kill themselves publicly are not funded or celebrated, but sent to psychiatric institutions-i hate him so much-though i do love how when he hung over the tams some of the people there tried to cut off his water/air tube.
      what a dumb asshole

      You know that permanent brain damage happens after 10 mins right? That might explain David Blaine's line of work.

      I wish he would make himself disappear and take that douche nipple Piss Angel with him. Oh if you get a chance later could you make your site run even slower? Super. Great. Thanks.

      43

      He is suppose to have an irregular heart beat when he goes underwater, that is the Dive Response when your heart beat slows down and blood is diverted to your brain directly since it depends in aerobic metabolism and no oxygen is being delivered to other tissues since they can be sustained by anaerobic metabolism. SO pretty much all the oxygen is going to his brain, this reflex is actualy pretty cool and thats why uncontious poeple are more likley to survie for longer period of time underwater then when they are in air, since their brail will have all the access to the oxygen in the body. but its pretty amazing he could do that for 17 minutes :)

    45. marina says – reply to this


      45

      Re: marina –
      so for people wondering why he didnt have brian damage its because of the dive reflex, he could have not lasted that long if he held his breath in air because oxygen could have been easily absorbed by muscle tissues. hes not dumb for chosing to hold his breath in water.

    46. Fuck YOu says – reply to this

      Perez, you idiot. Oprah doesn't come on until the AFTERNOON in many parts of the country…meaning you just fucking ruined it for me.

    51. Tammy in Luv says – reply to this


      51

      Wasn't going to watch this idiot anyway but it might have been better ratings if "something" had happened to him. The way he was able to do it was by breathing in and filling his lungs with pure oxygen. I figured that he'd be able to break the record as soon as I heard that…not such a big deal when you cheat like that!!!

    52. Courtney says – reply to this

      Pretty amazing that the LIVE broadcast has already happened, but Oprah hasn't been on yet!

      53

      All of you crying about what time this comes on. How bout not sitting on the couch all day eating ice cream waiting for some fat grease spot to come on with some douche who can hold his breath for 17 min. I bet that was super exiting T.V. Wtf? She blows goat balls, and he is a retard.

    54. jack says – reply to this


      54

      Why the fuck did you give this away before the show airs in NYC. You fucking ruined it for people who wanted to see it for themselves without knowing the results.

    55. Samantha says – reply to this


      55

      Perez, normally I don't say mean things about you. But shut the fuck up you fat cunt. Don't trash talk my sexy bb, David Blaine. Especially if he was successful. Had he failed, I wouldn't even care. But noooooo, you just have to say some kind of shit no matter what.

    56. sherry says – reply to this

      57

      I know a lot of people think its lame, but have you fucking tried to hold your breath that long. And he's not doing it for no reason, he's showing people its more mind than body. you can do anything if your you tell yourself to do it.

      66

      David Blaine is a hack magician that only got a start because his daddy owns a local television station. He has about as much magical skill as Corkey from "Life Goes On." NOTHING on TV is real, and he didn't break a record, he a douche

      Hi webmaster!

    85. Jes says – reply to this


      85

      There are two world records for breath holding… one where you "dope" (are allowed to suck on pure oxygen for up to 30 minutes before you start holding your breath) and one where you don't "dope" the record for non doping (what most of you think of when you think of holding your breath) is like 7 min (still impressive non the less) but that should put it in perspective for you what sucking down pure oxygen for half an hour can help your body do… that's why he is an ILLUSIONIST
