The stuntsman concluded 25 hours and jumped off the so-called wheel of death visibly exhausted.
“That was the latest spinning record,” the daredevil said at a Powerman sports event in the northern town of Zofingen.
The event organiser posted an interview with the acrobat, who nearly called it quits three times, on a Facebook page.
A death wheel consists of two large metal wheels with a diameter of more than two metres. They are mounted on a frame and rotate permanently around its axis due to the weight of the acrobat.
