Today I ripped 27 T-Shirts top to bottom on 1 minute to break my 46th Guinness World Record for “Most T-Shirts Worn and Torn in 1 Minute”. I put on 29 T-shirts and ripped 27 of them but we discounted one since it started ripping with the one before it for an official total of 26 t-shirts passing the previous mark of 25 by 1.
I gave a talk at Riverglenn Junior High to promote STEM education and a growth mindset and the kids were a fun audience.
The wildest thing probably happened when I told kids after the attempt they could have one of the ripped t-shirts. I really can’t move very much while wearing 29 t-shirts so I said they could have one if they helped me take them off. 30 kids decided all at once to help me take the t-shirts off and it was all I could do to stay standing as I was mobbed. I did stay standing, 27 kids got t-shirts, and my wife is happy they’re no longer laying around the house, and a Guinness World Record was broken, so all is well.
