Fan Choice returned last week with some great record holders vying for your vote. In the end, you decided to keep it casual, choosing the largest onesie as your first winner of 2014, securing its place with 48.5% of the vote.
As a reminder, every Friday we'll pick a selection of five records recently approved by our in-house Records Management Team. We'll give you a little background info and a photo of each and then ask you to vote for your favorite. The winners from each week will be entered into an end-of-year bracket to determine the Fan Choice record of the year.
This week features one woman earning her third career record and a daredevil 84-year-old. But first, we begin with a very balanced bunch.
LONGEST UNICYCLE CHAIN (pictured above)
Record: 346 unicyclists
Holder: Sportsfield Loxstedt
Location: Loxstedt, Germany
That's not all: The Loxstedt sports club was celebrating its 150th anniversary and decided to attempt this record as part of its celebration festivitites. Participants were required to be linked at the arms and stay on their unicycles for at least five seconds.
OLDEST BASE JUMPER
Record: 84 years 37 days old
Holder: Donald Cripps (USA)
Location: New River Gorge Bridge near Fayetteville, West Virginia, USA
That's not all: What do you plan on doing at 84? Cripps has more than 3,600 parachute jumps to his name, including twice while serving in North Korea during the Korean War. He has actually jumped off the New River Gorge Bridge three years in a row. The bridge stands 816 feet (249 m) above the river, with Cripps in freefall for 4 seconds before pulling his parachute.
LONGEST HUMAN CHAIN UNDERWATER
Record: 110 divers
Holder: Groupement des Professionnels de la Plongée
Location: Saint Leu, Réunion, France
That's not all: Equipped with SCUBA gear, t he divers held hands underwater at a depth of 59 feet (18 m) for 5 min 42 sec, forming an underwater chain measuring 250 feet (76.2 m).
GREATEST DISTANCE BY STAND-UP PADDLEBOARD IN 24 HOURS (FEMALE)
Record: 146 km (90.7 miles)
Holder: Robyn Benincasa
Location: Huntington Harbor in Huntington Beach, California, USA
That's not all: This record is for classification on flat water, meaning Benincasa had no help from waves or currents to push her along. Benincasa chose to do 60.5 laps of a pre-measured circuit around an island in the Harbor, securing her third career world record. The other two involved kayaking - now she's taken to paddling standing up!
LONGEST PLASTIC TOY TRAIN TRACK
Record: 5,608.44 m (18,400 ft 4 in)
Holder: Panasonic Corporation and TOMY Company, Ltd.
Location: Takinogawa-Daishichi Elementary School in Kita, Tokyo, Japan
That's not all: A Takara Tomy train covered the total distance of the record-breaking track in 4 hr 25 min 34 sec. The track used 26,667 Takara Tomy pieces. If extended in a straight line, the track would measure 3.48 miles (5.6 km).
