Breaking My World Record | Man Who Doesn’t Breathe S1E2 | Only Human

In the second episode Stig will attempt the most dangerous challenge yet. He will try and break his own World Record of HOLDING his breath underwater for over 22 minutes. As a warm up to his breathtaking record attempt Stig freedives with sharks and crocodiles on the unspoilt reefs of Cuba where he introduces the history of freediving, and where he gives an insight of the importance of yoga and meditation, for him to be able to break world records.
Throughout the show, Stig contributes to a whole new world of scientific research by allowing scientists to test and evaluate what happens to his body under the extreme physical and mental stress.
Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have.

[@rosegold973]

I love that he has a good relationship with his grandmother :) that is so sweet

[@1985Seraphim]

This is just fascinating. A real living and breathing Aquaman.

Lol amber heard

[@jgvtc559]

It is super fascinating But he's completely still I saw a doc about the world's deepest no tank free divers the guys are some tribe that do it for food Literally what this guys doing and spear fishing at the same time mind blowing

[@ozgal6929]

Wow. This is such an incredible feat. I hope Steve remains happy to settle with his 22 minute World Record Dive as it's not worth risking his life to better it when noone comes within 2 minutes of bettering it. Kudos to this superhuman effort ..I feel this record will stand for a very long time yet.

[@zthecat]

It's already been broken Lol over 24 minutes by someone else.

[@ozgal6929]

@@zthecat oh wow, really ..That's incredible 😮

[@zthecat]

@@ozgal6929 Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous to think about. I think it said it was in 2016.

[@flornceb8578]

@@zthecat Really? So this video was recorded before 2016? It was not mentioned on the description box though.

[@zthecat]

@@flornceb8578 They mentioned at one point in the video that it was 2013, I can't remember where though.

Hey, you're a beast, Steve. Amazing physical human being.

[@vazap8662]

Truly amazing. What a happy looking man too!

[@TheJazzWick]

This is truly amazing

[@LoneWombat2126]

I don’t know who is more amazing to me…Stig or his Grandmother. She is in such amazing condition for 100 years young.

[@meghanyoung3273]

right???

[@Del-Canada]

I rented "The Big Blue" back in 1988. Great movie. I am also a SCUBA diver so I love this topic.

[@andrewhenshall8653]

Beyond amazing the power of spirit

[@biglollol]

For information: At the time, and still, the world record is 24:11 by Budimir Šobat set in 2018. This video is specifically about breaking his *own* record.

[@awKtn32-_-]

It is now 24.36 by Budimir Sobat in march,2021

[@OmgMyutubeaccount]

i know this comment is old and i'm watching this late, but this documentary is from 2013 when he still was world record holder.

[@Cozette420]

Damn granny is a beast, too. 100??!!

[@diyfreediver]

Speaking of Stig in the past tense at 42:45 scared me. I had to Google him just to make sure he was alive and well.

[@H.Doc11]

Love it ❤

It’s amazing how he’s able to do this congratulations to you Steve keep up the good work

That is some going. Congrats

[@richardkovacs2671]

Respect to Stig. A remarkeble person.this record can maby get broken but not by many. Maby one or at best two person in the whole world for the next 20 years can perhaps break it and set a new bar but i dont think we ever go past 30 min and if we do maby in 300 years lol

[@Cozette420]

They need to explain the idea of how he builds the 3rd lung. Like yes, I see him "packing" but scientifically it wasnt explained

[@ademarbenitezaranjo8299]

I thought the same, then I realised this is youtube =).

[@LowKickMT]

you close the airwaves with your tongue, like a one way valve in a water toy and then just push in more air into their lunges, basically "overfilling" it with some extra litres

[@frugalnestmom]

He isn’t actually making a third lung. He’s expanding the lungs to a point where it is the equivalent of having a third lung.

[@Arieskie]

It’s packing. No cruel 3rd lung.

[@metou3072]

Let's not forget he is loading with 100% oxygen to stay under for 20+min...still incredible but he definitely can't do that with just normal air...

[@YolandaisYolandaCooks]

Steve the miracle man.😊

[@1979chyeo]

I was expecting like 5 mins, but heard 22 mins 😱

Sorry to break it to you, but your brother is dead

That Benitez is a rising star 😂

[@nemothecat8500]

He is amazing

[@ellesimon4149]

This is wonderful if you do it just because you love the experience. I get that, but dying at 28 for competition seems like a waste of a young life to me.

[@usgalsen]

I was impressed how lucid he remained and how he did not come out frantically gasping for air as I do after just 1 mn 😂

[@HyperSarcasticAvocado]

His reflexes are going to feel so useless that he is going to go to sleep and they will be like nah, we're going out partying. Then he'll never sleep again.

[@TalkToMeInTagalog]

He's Aquaman's long lost brother 😊

[@pauljameshidalgo]

Okay hold my beer, I’ll call my Badjoa friend he will annihilate your record

HI, dont fortget He has pure oxygen before this attempt.

[@diyallthings]

Disastrous record for him 16 minutes. My best record 30 seconds

[@martinamadsen812]

Seems a dumb idea to allow blood flow to one arm to be blocked off for five minutes to satisfy some scientists curiously.🤔 Regards Niels.

Any mention of William Trubridge on hectometer dive?

[@DavidGottschalk]

Buscar un record, vivir obsesionado en un numero o marca, utilizando medios tan artificiales como puede ser oxigeno puro y comprimido en una piscina , es la antitesis a sentir el placer de la Apnea o de formar parte del mar , entendiendo sus fenomenos

[@Platypus_Warrior]

There's these people in Bali Indonesia. With such facilities and training I wonder what they could do...

[@mtmd584]

That endopat score is incredible (1.75) the highest I have seen in my office is 1.1

[@derekgreene2304]

The free divers off the Philippine islands can go 12 minutes 90 feet down while walking and holding a speer, a bag of big fish, looking out for tiger sharks trying to take his catch or leg. Try that. Not a hope. What he needs to do is do some sort of exercise relax then try it. Makes sense to me. Then he'll have loads of oxygen flying around and wait till its settling, then go for it!!

[@thureintun1687]

the end part induce hurt into my stomach

[@snmobley03]

These "people" aren't mankind: they gotta be chimeras 😂! Nah, but for real 👀🐟

[@sts3884]

I love free diving but it needs to outlaw pre Oxygenation. It’s like letting Usan Bolt take every steroid under the sun.

[@v3le]

oxygenation for 30-40 min then dive for 20 min

Simple explanation, he’s a mutant, i think he could develop his full potential at my pal’s academy for gifted people....

[@v3le]

[@neubertmc]

Does anybody know what diving goggles he is wearing?

[@meghanyoung3273]

wouldn't water/salt temperature have a significant impact?? Frogs and other pond creatures are able to put themselves into a state of hibernation (slowing down heart rate etc.,) because of cold temperatures

he should pretend to be a mermaid for little kids

or to be dead, for his mom

[@kashmirha]

I dont get it why the producers of these shows go too close. Its always like: there is a great silence here, yet the guy is talking. Its like he wants to disturb a bit, just to show he is there. Going 50 steps away would be as easy.

What is the f...ng point of being THE BEST THAN.. THE ONLY MAN WHO at the end this most complicated addiction for recognition pushes him to break his own record. How broken must be humans ego who doesn't know when to stop and basically wants to become god. "The more you desire to be seen by others, the less you see your own self"

[@Mikesworld777]

Is he advanced nitrox certified in order to be breathing that gas “mix” 100% o2

[@sasaltheia9839]

Ok but witout breathe O2 ...

[@yeahyeahyeahyeah1111]

The oxygen tank threw him off,its not how he trained originally, our body needs certain levels of carbon dioxide

[@hanssolos3699]

sadly he couldnt get the slightest natural male erection cos it stopped the oxygen and blood flow to his phallic region. We called him Mr Flacid.
