Drum-A-Thon_Ga Central Municipality

 

The end of the Year 2023, came with a thrilling performance of Afua Asantewaa’s singathon which made Christmas a remarkable one for all Ghanaians and Africans in the diaspora. This was because a female has ignited the passion and lifted the can-do spirit of most Ghanaians and also caused a ripple effect. Chef Faila’s cookathon also brightened our New year 2024. Chef Smith’s cookathon, a male chef, also joined the race and ended with an inspiring 820 hours cookathon attempt.

This marathon has just been joined by another young drummer by name Joseph Adu-Peprah from Ga Central Municipality, a suburb of Accra. He has so far done 16 hours and he is hoping to do 160 hours. Vungton Multimedia recorded fans cheering and supporting Joseph at the Ga Central Municipality Terminal, giving him the moral support he needs to achieve this feat. We entreat everyone to go and support Joseph’s Drum-A-Thon.

Let us take a look into the history behind the Guinness world record. 

1. Introduction

a. Guinness World Records is a global authority on record-breaking achievements, documenting human achievements that are extraordinary, impressive, and sometimes bizarre. The organization has been keeping track of such records since 1955 and has grown into a widely recognized brand with numerous books, TV shows, and digital platforms.

b. This blog aims to explore various Guinness World Record attempts, shedding light on the determination, creativity, and sometimes sheer madness that drives individuals to push their limits and achieve the unthinkable.

2. Body

a. Longest duration without sleep

i. The record for the longest duration without sleep stands at 11 days, set by Randy Gardner in 1964. To achieve this feat, Gardner had to endure extreme fatigue, hallucinations, and other sleep deprivation-related side effects. His preparation involved careful planning to ensure he stayed awake for as long as possible while minimizing the negative effects on his health.

ii. The challenges faced by Gardner were immense – from staying alert during the day to dealing with vivid dreams and hallucinations at night. He had to rely on friends and family members to keep him awake during the day and provide support throughout the record attempt.

b. Most hamburgers eaten in one sitting

i. Joey Chestnut holds the record for eating 72 hamburgers in 10 minutes in 2016. This incredible feat requires not only a large stomach capacity but also efficient eating strategies to consume as many burgers as possible within the given time frame.

ii. Preparation for this record involves training one's stomach to expand its capacity and developing techniques for quickly consuming food without choking hazards or digestive discomforts during the attempt.

c. Highest Bungee jump from a helicopter

i. The highest bungee jump from a helicopter was achieved by David Kirke in 2014 when he jumped from a helicopter hovering at an altitude of 25,843 feet (7,877 meters) over Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

ii. Preparation for this record includes extensive training in bungee jumping techniques while ensuring safety measures are in place for such an extreme jump from such a great height.

3. Conclusion

a. In conclusion, these three Guinness World Record attempts showcase human resilience, determination, and creativity in achieving extraordinary feats that inspire others around the world.
