Muscleman Supports Helicopter On His Back

An Austrian strongman set a new world record after a 1.8-ton helicopter landed on his back.

Muscleman Franz Muellner supported the machine for almost a minute after it landed on his shoulders to secure his place in the Guinness Book of World Records.

The record attempt was part of the Vienna World Record Day held in the Austrian capital's park.

Other world records broken included the maximum number of straws that could be held at any one time in the mouth. Marco Hort managed to fit 264 straws in his mouth to beat his old record of 259.
