超人100連発(chojin hyaku rempatsu): A string of 100 supermen

I happened to watch the TV program introducing 100 super persons who hold the World Guinness Records. Most of them achieved the record by themselves, but some accomplished by groups.
Some were marked by trying something in one minute. Others were marked by making the most, longest, or largest records.
Guest judges chose the top 5 out of 100. No. 5 was the man who put on and took off the underwear like jumping. He did 27 times in a minute. No. 4 was the Leaning Tower of Pisa made of something like building blocks, which was broken by the emcee by chance before broadcasting. So unfortunately he could not be admitted as a record holder. No. 3 was the man who swam in the icy water under the frozen lake for 57.5 meters. No. 2 was the man who walked on the rope for about 6 meters between balloons of 6,522 meters high. No. 1 was the man who jumped from the waterfall of 12.19 meters high.
During the program one new World Guinness Record was made. That is to break the bat by kicking. He broke 54 bats in a minute.
According to the homepage of Guinness World Records, the first edition of the Guinness book of the records was published on Aug. 27, 1955. By Christmas it became a best seller in England. There are more than 60,000 applications in a year. Guinness World Records is translated into 37 languages in 100 countries and sold 100,000,000 copies. Therefore this book itself has the world record.
Would you like to try something to get the world record?
