HOW LONG CAN PEOPLE HOLD THEIR BREATH?
Average people can hold their breath (above water) for 45 - 90 seconds. If you think this challenge was too easy, then try it underwater! The current world record for the longest breath held is 8:58 without the aid of an oxygen machine (like David Blane used for his 17 minute breath). My best (above water) time is 2:02 (122 seconds).

$10,000 IN 15 SECONDS:
If I gave you $10,000 to do a 15 second video response, you would right? Well Sanyo IS giving away $10k for just that! Submit your 15 second video or check out others!: http://www.eztrackz.com/tracking.aspx?id=95812

WHAT IF SOMEONE DIES?
It's impossible to kill yourself while simply holding your breath. If you pass out before 83 seconds, then I think you've got bigger problems that you need to see a doctor about! Use common sense. Don't cover your nose or mouth (with anything) while holding your breath and STOP holding your breath when I tell you it's time to breath. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE! If you think that playing this game will hurt you, then either play at your own risk or DON'T PLAY AT ALL!

MORE ABOUT MY CAMERA:
The camera I used to make this video was from Sanyo's new line of Xacti HD camcorders which will be coming out later this Spring. The VPC-WH1 features a waterproof casing, 720p HD video, 2 mega-pixel still images, and a super easy menu system ALL for under $400!

IS SANYO PAYING ME?
YES, Sanyo did ask me (and a few other popular YouTubers) to test out their new line of Sanyo Xacti's. No matter what kind of camera it is, I LOVE playing with new cameras! So there was no way I was going to turn this offer down. It's the first EVER waterproof HD consumer camcorder! Would you turn down a free HD waterproof camcorder? lol, I think not! : )

  • @Joeybp2000 my sister won and shes only 8

  • like if you started holding you breath at 1:00

  • @fflover9000 I actually think you'll find there is a difference between normal breath holding on air (21% oxygen) and holding your breath after breathing pure oxygen (the record you are referring too). In which case, the record is actually 20:21 set by Ricardo Bahia from Brazil. Think before you criticize.
