George the Giant Sets a Record

George the Giant set the world record for the total weight of concrete blocks broken while resting on his chest while laying on a bed of nails.

40 blocks at an average weight of 34.5 pounds each make 1380 pounds total concrete. Then there's the 30-ish pound platform and of course George's own weight all resting on the bed of nails.And that's before you start swinging sledge hammers to break the blocks.Oh, and did I mention that they set the blocks on fire?"Ouch" seemed like the word of the day.All this took place as the half-time entertainment during an Arena Football match on the home turf of the Bakersfield Blitz.
