David Rush, a resident of Idaho, USA, has set more than 250 records that have been entered into the Guinness Book of Records.

One of the latest is holding a chainsaw on your forehead.

The man managed to stay in this position for 31 minutes and 25 seconds.

Rush first became the best in this business (meaning the length of time he balances a chainsaw) in 2017.

At that time, his results were much more modest: David could hold a chainsaw on his forehead for only 5 minutes and 1 second.

His achievement was soon passed on to another Guinness World Record holder, who successfully completed this task for 6 minutes and 48 minutes.

However, the American had no intention of giving up: he decided that leadership in this category should belong to him.

“It really hurts,” the man described his sensations, explaining that this position caused his neck muscles to cramp.

However, in his opinion, a person is able to cope with the load if he realizes that many things are mental.

Rush, which can handle a chainsaw, is also capable of holding other objects – not only on the forehead, but also on the chin.

But he insists that the hardest thing for him is when he has a chainsaw on his forehead, because he can't see when the object might tip over.

By the way, a photo of David with a chainsaw on his forehead can be seen on the cover of his book, Breaking Records: 21 Lessons from 21 World Record Attempts.
