In fact, the Guinness Book of World Records doesn’t even encourage people to compete for dangerous records, out of fear of people killing themselves. With that being said, beyond the beer manufacturers’ bar bet settling book there are other records to be broken and as this list will prove, they can be deadly.

1. Don't you get tired of quoting mph and kph?
2. I like the use of both measuring systems, but next time post one system as captions to make things smoother.
3. stop with the goddamn miles/kilometers and feet/meters it's painful
4. They have buses in Iran? Do the gays, Jews, and women all have to sit in the back?
5. Hands, hands, gesturing hands, teeth, hands, arm hair.
6. 6:25 This accident had nothing to do with Jessica's age or experience level as a pilot. As a student pilot she was not in charge, her instructor was and he should have canceled that day's flight due to the weather.
   Even jumbo jets had weather limits they are able to safely fly in, and the weather conditions exceeded the limits fo the plane she was flying.
7. RIP
8. Interesting topic I liked it. Also thanks for giving measurements in both us standard and metric. It helps us nut jobs that aren't familiar with the metric system.
9. YouTubes ridiculous buggy new advertisement scheme has made your videos unwatchable. So sorry.
10. I would not really call these people "Attention Seekers",though they might sound like that.
    They are often aware they might die, but try anyways, in order to become someone to remember, to leave a mark in history in their own personal way and prove Man can push farther and farther over the limits...and that imo is quite noble and brave!
11. #10 elicited an astonished "bloody hell" from this viewer so I dread to think what #s 9 - 1 will entail.
12. THANK FOR USING THE METRIC & IMPERIAL SYSTEM :-)
13. Please do to 10 Gaming brothers like Dante and Virgil Devil may cry 1 to 3
14. Simon I know you from Manchester,England. We met many years ago. We sat on the pavement outside KFC on Oxford Rd,drinking after a night at the Number 1 club. You had gelled back hair and a quiff. It was died black. You were really down
15. What a professional voice
16. those conversions is making me angry.... just stop it
17. the 13th bus? seriously? no joke? thats insane......
18. people dying to break records that will inevitably be broken in the future when technology get better and safer, hmm, atleast they had fun
19. Listen how different Simon's voice is in his vlogs :D
20. Rob dyrek jumping the massive skateboard in a car.
