Andrew Basso sets record with stunning underwater escape

The escape artiste’s performance gets him a Guinness World Record

How long can you hold your breath underwater? A few seconds? Maybe a minute? 

Take a look at this new Guinness World Record and laud the achievement of Andrew Basso from the USA. The underwater escape artiste enters a water contraption upside down with his hands in cuffs and even his feet restrained. Watch the full video and take a look at how he calmly frees his hands before moving on to free one foot at a time. Stuck in the box with his lungs crying out for air, Andrew calmly gets through the challenge and finishes in record time. Escaping the contraption in 2 minutes 11 seconds, he gets a world record to his name. Escape artists are often referred to as performers, but this is such a remarkable feat that most of us would think several times before trying something like this.
