Man balances running lawnmower on his chin for 9 minutes, 17 seconds (Link with video)

?si=Dgv_yCeBebmzs4Hc

David Rush, who is on a quest to hold the most concurrent Guinness World Records titles, previously attempted the record about four years ago, but his time of 3 minutes, 52 seconds was disqualified because his lawnmower did not have a bag on it.

The record was increased in the meantime to 7 minutes, 2 seconds by fellow serial record-breaker Ashrita Furman.

The record brought Rush's total concurrent titles to 165, bringing him closer to overtaking Silvio Sabba, who currently holds 180 titles.

I'm up to almost five minutes. That might be good for the women's record.

But, meh, that's an electric lawn mower, and I didn't see a spinning blade. Let's see him do a gas-powered mower with the blade attached.
