“All the washing machines were damaged in the making of this record,” proclaims Guinness World Records in a matter that surely has to be a contender itself The most ridiculous record in the world.
See, it’s all about spinning a washing machine as far as possible. And that’s it.
For those who love washing machines or just shudder at the thought of perfectly decent technology being ripped to pieces, the following video will be a tough nut to crack.
But if you’re curious how far someone can throw a contraption that should normally live quietly in your home while doing the occasional cleaning chore, then dive in.
The footage comes from Italy Lo Show Dei Record (“The Show of Records”), which took place in Milan earlier this year. Guinness World Records shared the video this week.
The competition pitted Swedish athlete Johan Espenkrona against fellow athlete Kelvin de Ruiter of the Netherlands.
In the presence of Guinness World Records officials, the pair set out to fling three washing machines, each weighing 101.4 pounds (46 kilograms), through the air.
Her ultimate goal was to break the existing world record for the longest throw from a washing machine, which stood at 13 feet 6.6 inches (4.13 meters).
And Espenkrona accomplished just that, winning and earning the showdown with a throw of 14 feet 7.2 inches (4.45 meters). a new Guinness World Record. Albeit a bit silly.
Athlete’s technique suggests that if you ever find yourself having to pick up a washing machine and fling it through the air (tip: remove all clothing and water first), the best way to do it is to do it first to balance on his head before you take a short run to launch him forward. Though it’s probably harder than it looks.
Ready for another absurd record? Then watch this video with some crazy parallel parking stunts.
