This record was actually broken just four months afterwards. I hate to break it to you but Peter Colat and Nicola Putignano all cheated too with pfc's. And no I didn't mean the pure o2. The last guy to make an honest static apnea using pure o2 only record was maybe Gianluca Genoni (2002, 12'34") but even he cheated later breaking his own record again making it to 18 minute record in 2008. Bill Stromberg 13'05" and early Tom Sietas record (14'12") are probably honest records too. Anyway lately most of these guys are breaking their own records by 5 minutes plus (i.e. all cheating with pfcs). It is no coincidence that all these records started happening after the advent of commercially available perfluorcarbons (to inject into blood or muscles). | ||

That said, I do know for a fact that David Blaine got close to eight minutes with this method. That's impressive enough for me. | ||

And yeah I do think his 8 minutes static apnea without oxygen was probably honest - and even though I am a fan of Blaine the illusionist I am just giving you a hard time about him advancing anything in the world of static apnea (with or without o2). | ||

That was crazy Edit: Wow, I just finished about five minutes ago and just right now it felt like I got punched in the nards. Has anyone else experienced this? | ||

Personally, I've only felt light-headed and tingly/numb - perfectly understood effects of hyperventilation. | ||

In other words Karliath disclaimer is indeed quite correct so please listen to him: "This technique is DANGEROUS, and, as such, I am forced to advise you not to try it." | ||

When I was in 7th grade, living in germany, the boys at my school did this. When one of my friends did it, some of the kids "helping" kicked him in the gut after he fell over, so when it was my turn I refused. I thought it was peculiar to the military base I was on, though. ...The dumb shit boys do to prove they're tough... amiright? To anyone considering trying the ultimate hold breath technique... unless you're planning on being a professional diver or magician... just don't. A cheap thrill like this isn't worth significant brain damage/death. | ||
