Watch: Athlete pulls 21,737-pound bus with his neck

A 49-year-old athlete from Aruba earned his 10th Guinness World Records title by pulling a bus a distance of more than 65 feet using his neck.

In a stunning display of raw strength and determination, a 49-year-old athlete from Aruba has added another jaw-dropping achievement to his already impressive resume. Egmond Molina recently secured his 10th Guinness World Records title by pulling a massive 21,737-pound bus over 65 feet—using nothing but his neck.

The incredible feat took place on January 9, with Molina harnessing a rope around his neck to drag the vehicle across the pavement. Guinness World Records has now officially certified the attempt, confirming he shattered the previous record for the heaviest vehicle pulled by the neck. That mark, set by Ukraine's Dmytro Hrunskyi in 2024, stood at 17,769.26 pounds—a difference of nearly 4,000 pounds.

"With the rope compressing my airway, I must generate force while carefully controlling my breathing under intense strain," Molina explained to Guinness World Records. "It becomes a psychological battle to remain composed while the body is under severe stress."

This latest record is just one of many for the strongman, whose other Guinness titles include the fastest 20-meter bus pull with one finger (33.32 seconds), the fastest 20-meter tram pull with teeth (39.9 seconds), the fastest hot water bottle burst (2.87 seconds), and the most crown cap bottles opened with both hands in 30 seconds (6 bottles).

For Molina, however, these achievements are about more than personal glory. He dedicates his records to his children—Nigel, Egmond Junior, Benjamin, and Adelinda—as well as the youth of his home island. "My records are a tribute to my people and my family's enduring legacy," he said.

Whether you're hitting the gym or just looking for inspiration to push your own limits, Molina's story is a powerful reminder that with focus and grit, the impossible is just a challenge waiting to be conquered.
