Though being the owner of a world record is pretty cool, there are world
records no one wants to beat. From surviving the most lightening strikes
to enduring the hardest kick to the groin (seriously, who would want to
beat a world record of groin kicking?), these are some bizarre world
records no one wants to beat.

Largest object removed from human skull
In 1998, Michael Hill was stabbed in the head with a large knife and
left for dead, but he survived and had the 20 cm (8 in) long survival
knife removed from his skull. The incident happened when Hill was
visiting his sister. Hill went to answer a knock on the door when his
sister’s neighbor, Derrick Smith, stabbed Hill on the head with a
serrated knife. It’s believed that Smith confused Hill with Hill’s
sister’s husband whom he had argued with sometime earlier. Though Hill
survived the attack, he was left with some complications that include
memory loss and brain seizures. |
