A 25-YEAR-OLD man smashed 124 coconuts with bare hands in less than a minute, muscling his way into the Guinness Book of World Records in Kerala, India.

Abeesh Dominic, a native of Poonjar in Kottayam district, achieved the feat during a spectacular show of power at a city mall Saturday.

In less than 60 seconds, he managed to smash 145 coconuts with right elbow in less than 50 seconds. The number of fully crushed coconuts added up to 124.

The previous record of 118 coconuts smashed in one minute was held by German Muhamed Kahrimanovic.

“I decided to break this record because I am from a remote village and Guinness World Records is only a dream for any one of us,” Dominic said. “I am a man of strong determination and I strongly believe in the willpower of human beings,” he mentioned.

Dominic, who works as a motor mechanic, has already made it to the Universal Record Forum, Limca Book of Records, American Setter Record and the Assist World Record in different categories.

He has also pulled off several unique and risky stunts such as breaking hockey sticks and helmets with bare hands, pulling a bus to a distance of 50 meters using his teeth, stopping a pedestal fan running at a speed of 2,000 rpm.(SD-Agencies)
