Yes, this is rehearsed very seriously, but - they would never let anything happen to her. They would never overlook any possible risk that could 'go wrong'. Yes, she is able to not take a breath for an extended period of time. At the same time, remember, this is show business. It's all about presentation - and how it 'looks'.
If she needed to, she could burst out of that tank. Or, they could get in within a few seconds if necessary.
After saying this, kudos to her for knowing her craft.
This is physically impossible, the maximum amount of time a human being can hold his/her breath is 3 minutes. After that you pass out and take a breath automatically, consider it your bodys oxygen fail safe. If a human is deprived of oxygen for longer than 3 minutes, there can be irreversible brain damage. She held her breath for almost 4 minutes.
You're actually partially right some people are able to hold it for longer than 3 minutes and it wont cause brain damage because the brain will first make you faint and you will begin breathing against your will. But with a lot of practice some people can hold their breath for 2-3 minutes although their blood is filling with carbon dioxide. And after around a minute your gonna have to battle it out with your brain to keep you from taking that automatic breath.
The trick is to train your body to work at minimum energy so you use you're oxygen very slowly, if she does this act for 3 minutes, she's able to hold her breath atleast 4 minutes, the moment where she struggles doesn't happen here, this is all well-trained over and over and over..
i stop at 3:53

@drumbeast54, She bends the steel wire into the right angle to open the lock, every lock has a different system to open it..
