Myrtle Beach Man Enters Guinness Book (Again!)

Lo and behold, the Grand Strand is home to an 11-time Guinness World Record holder.

His name is Chad Netherland, and his latest feat was featured this week on the “Rachael Ray on Ice Show.” The Myrtle Beach resident set the fastest time to break 50 blocks of ice by hand (3,250 pounds) by doing so in an astounding 19.31 seconds – less than half the previous record of 50 seconds:

Currently the director of marketing for Ripley Entertainment in Myrtle Beach, Netherland is an 11-time Guinness World Record holder in Martial Arts and Strength. He appeared on the Rachael Ray Show as a representative of the seven Guinness World Records Museums, all licensed through Ripley Entertainment.

In case you’re curious, you can take a video peek at some of Netherland’s other feats on YouTube, including his world records for:

• Using his arms to keep two airplanes from taking off;
• “Most concrete broken off of someone with a sledge hammer while on a bed of nails”; and
• Ripping 10 decks of cards by hand in 46 seconds.

Oh, and he can also roll a 12” frying pan by hand.

Congratulations, Chad. Now let’s see you unroll that thing …;-)
