Why hold your breath for 24 minutes when you can drown and hold your breath forever
The first person that died in history is constantly improving the world record as we speak
In order to drown you have to breathe in water so... hold your breath forever idea out the window.

fine
suffocation underwater

World record holder could go underwater and watch this video exactly 3 times before coming back up for air
wrong
Thats 24 minutes and 3 seconds so hes wrong your wrong

Technically wrong. But obviously he meant the Spanish diver who went 24 min and 3 sec. Which is this video 3 times
Advertisments be like.
Felt out of breath just by watching this
justcallme MUGO yep

Yep almost passed out
Ha same here
justcallme MUGO true
I like how they didn't explain why its almost impossible to hold your breath for 24mins
I was literally going go comment this. So frustrating that I watched a video for nothing
@@anandvyavahare2031 i can actually answer that question for u: it's because u would die
@@anandvyavahare2031 You have to strategically skip parts. Golden rule: "My experience"-parts can be cut.
they said partly because of genetics and partly because of training lol.
😂😂 bro I hope three years later ur still this funny

Chloe Bavaro You win greatest comment of the video!🤣
Chloe Bavaro omg i'm dying
thats my cat too🤣
4:17 Your cat hissing for you to stand back
That's what my goldfish always do when she stays in water
*Whole different situation when your drowning*
Omar T omh
sorry but..
*you're**
the point here is that you can learn to calm yourself down to a point, because panicking while drowning is the worst thing to do. Granted most people who drown because they can't swim, and then panic.
AbstractStxnce スバル actually it is your and not your're because you're stands for you are, meaning his sentence is correct
Cavecraft Gaming No, it's you're.
hold your breath for 24 minutes? aint nobody got time for that.

@@ankithmahesh1182 haha ikr but we can still talk here
All this talk of breathing and heart rate has caused me to breathe manually through this whole video
Nice
Same! I hate it haha
This comment made me breathe manually
I'm sure everyone did it at one point throughout the video
...because you can't hold your breath when you're dead???
You can actually... for a VERY long time.
You wouldn't die, you would just pass out and depending if you're in water or not, you either begin breathing again or drown
Peter the fuck engine I said if you're under water or not. When under water it is deadly
so, this is where you're wrong. if no oxygen gets to the brain after about 2 mins, you're brain damaged. Freedivers oxygenate their entire systems with the breathe up, then full their lungs to capacity before doing a pool breath hold (static breath hold). Meaning that oxygen is still getting to the brain for several minutes. The issue is that CO2 builds and your limbs are starved making your brain send signals for you to breathe.
I'm a freediver myself. Certified Intermediate with PFI. the body is capable of amazing things man.
CozmicK G you don't die by holding your breath to long....
**Tries the breath holding technique thing**
...If done incorrectly they can be harmful or deadly
**BREATHES OUT**
Literally me 2 seconds ago
Same, I was doing it to see if it worked. and he said that and I freaked out
I can hold my breath for a few minutes :p

Why the f ISIS would do such a thing?
COMMENT OF THE YEAR XD
Noah because there evil and they want us to suffer so they would record it too.
Just take a nap while your under water you won’t feel a thing😂
I know that you are joking but for me it takes like an hour before i actually fall asleep
ThatsAHeavyStatement hey its true i cant feel a thing
But when you nap, you automatically turn to breathing, which is something that is not ideal while in water...
ThatsAHeavyStatement same
Jacob I you'll drown if you do
"Why Holding Your Breath For 24 Minutes Is Almost Impossible"
...
I'm going to guess that it's because humans need to breath oxygen to survive... did I guess correctly?
Funny and original
Nope. It is not the oxygen we need but the release of Co2 in our lungs. That Bajau people have oversized spleens that help them regulate the toxic Co2 in their systems.
David is right.
David Beppler Not true oxygen is needed.
@@dannydevito7000 what hes getting at, is that the URGE to breathe is caused by your body's need to get rid of C02. I dont think anybody is arguing that humans dont need oxygen. Hes just saying the reflex that causes you to gasp for air is caused by your body's reflex to purge C02 when it builds up and then take in oxygen.
I tried that with a friend, I could hold for just 2 min and 11 sec, but my friend holded for more than 45 minutes and still in the pool. He is a f*kng monster, beating the WR and all
Sounds like you need to check if your friends dad is poseidon
we all tried to hold our breath while watching this

It's different when you are in water.
HAAAA i got 2 fuckin minutes BOIIiii
5 MINUTE BEAT U

%100 the mustache helped
It filtered the water to pure oxygen
Ahh, no wonder I couldn't pass 23 minutes and 59 seconds holding my breath.
*watches girl free diver pack her lungs with air*

“Lung packing can destroy the muscles in your lungs”
Has anyone ever forgotten to breath for a bit and then realise
...Is it just me?
invictus me 2
Meeee
Usually when I'm staring into nothingness or when I'm super duper relaxed
I did it when I was with my friends they thought I died because I was quiet and then all of a sudden breathed really loudly
All the time m8
The only change I saw was your mustache disappearance
Me too.
Edit: Of fuck why did he shave it?
😂😂😂
I can hold my breath for an hour

These people don't get very old...
Matthias we here for a good time not a long time.
These people are working out on a regular basis and their heart/lung system is pretty strong. No free-diver will smoke or drink excessively alcohol or be fat. Otherwise they couldnt be free divers. Even if the sports put stress on your body, they are still 10 times more healthy than the general public.
Yeah, they're in good shape. So are boxers, and racecar drivers. People in the Military are in great shape too. Doesn't mean their occupations aren't inherently more dangerous.
Actually breathing oxygen is what breakes down your body. In theory the less oxygen you breathe the longer you live.
Golpheox So if I suffocate myself...
Once in the middle of history class finished a test far earlier than everyone else so I decided to try to hold my breath for as long as possible. I took 30-40 seconds to relax then started a timer on my phone. I held my breath for 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I think one thing that really helped me with this was that, at this time, I had been playing clarinet for over 4 years .

Who the fuck would hold there breath for 24 minutes?

Cause it's fucking awesome. Have you never wanted to breath underwater without a huge scuba suit on?
Well, you still can't but this is pretty close

Usause Disrespect to ur neighbour smh.
Sorry man, guess dark humor isn't everybody's cup of liquefied baby.
Tl;dr you have to be born with this skill
General Truth no..no you don't. You can learn it like anything.
Title talks about 24 minutes, which in the end seems to be possible for only people born with larger lungs.
Michael Dromes doesn't mean you can't train to get to like 20 minutes without having huge lungs. It's like intelligence, yeah you can be born with a higher intelligence but if you don't train it another person born with inferior intelligence can easily be smarter than you if they develop it.
Everyone can train in anything, but only the genetic elite (Who also trained just as hard) can be the leader in that said thing.
Hard work beats just talent, but when talent works hard, everyone else is fucked.
FreeSpark either way i don’t give a fuck, i try my best at what i do and to hell with what is was born with, genes aren’t as important in academia as much as they are in sports.
Why passing “world record+1” is almost impossible
im addicted to this series
His moustache reminds of Dr.Watson from Sherlock 😂
Because I'd have to be holding my breath for 24 minutes?
Fun fact: you can hold your breath for the rest of your life
this video was breathtaking

Why dying and then coming back to life is nearly impossible
we really appreciate you taking time off making super troopers 2 to teach us about holding your breath
The mustache absolutely helped
I know how to do that lung packing thing, I didn't know that was something divers do, but I definitely knew it helped before holding my breath. My parents used to worry about me because when I would play in the pool with my siblings to find coins I would be under way longer lol. Something about slowly drifting looking for coins is so soothing to me, all I could hear was gentle water movements and my heartbeat. I also used to just sit underwater and meditate or look at the sky so they thought I was drowning 🤣
I'm 43 years old was at the Waterpark with the fam. I found a nice spot to float and relax underwater. The life guard asked me to stop. I freaked him out!
Really my brother held it longer he actually never came up he was so good.
At this point, even if you make up a joke in your head and you type it, ppl are *always* gonna say "copied" Or "*I aLrEADy HaVE SEeN this*"
I found myself smiling with him when he announced "4:16, that's great!" Well done, mustache guy, you've made the internet proud.
My longest is 3:17 and I thought I was cool
Elite_Eclipse 死去 しきょ you have trained right?
That is pretty cool
I get 4 minutes average
You're already cooler than most of the people
Been watching a few videos lately on this and I decided to give it a shot last night before going to sleep, I purged however but managed to hold for my breath for 3:15 lying on bed. Can't wait to go in the pool and try it there as I think I can probably do 5 minutes very easily
24 MINUTES?!?!?! I CAN'T EVEN HOLD MY BREATH FOR 24 FUCKING SECONDS!
damn thats actually kinda sad
GrubbySalad holding breath isn't a very important live skill tbh. Most people can, but it really doesn't matter if you can't
Jamie Read Uh no. If you can't hold your breathe for longer than 30 seconds then there really must be something wrong with your lungs or heart
GrubbySalad it was a joke, it was not meant to take serious.
lad... you must be sick with something, a sedentary person like me can stand almost 2 minutes holding my breath, 30 seconds is just... no
I held my breath through out this entire video
I think the stimulus (the one where cold water touches the face and thus the heart rate is decreased) evolved during the winter, this helps animals hibernate, but also this might be helpful when an organism is drowning or flowing down a river, if the heart rate is decreased then the rate of breathing is also decreased ever so slightly.
Umm, so _Why is Holding Your Breath For 24 Minutes Almost Impossible?!_
Maybe it's impossible because I'm not a fucking dolphin
He mentioned 24 minutes once and never said anything about why it's impossible. Just mentioned it as a bit of trivia, then talked about his experience trying to do it
That was really cool. 4.16 is a long time. Good job
unless you're tortured/drowning I don't see how I'll be using this in life, I feel like I'm back in school 😂😂
The name of the spanish freediver is arabized and plainly wrong.
The right name es "Aleix Segura", and it's a catalonian name.
Diente de Pollo hehe xd
these videos are just the world records +1
RIP
i ran out of breath just by watching this
When I was like 6 my cousin and I had a contest to see how long we could hold our breath. Apparently (I don’t really remember it, it was like 15 years ago) I held mine for like 5 minutes and my mom thought I passed out and almost called 911
Ur problably really gifted and can break the world record.
If we all hold our breath for 24 minutes. The world will be a better place.
Honestly, I was expecting a lot of incorrect information....But, quite a good video with mostly accurate information!
David Blaine held his breathe for 17 mins.
Nathan Zifko He can also fly
Jimmy James held his for 1hr and 23 mins
Nathan Zifko true. And that one's already beaten
David Blaine lol! One born every minute.
my friend hold his breath in water for 43minute. he died
I'm missing the final conclusion on what exactly limits the time (except for the lack of oxygen in the body) but for example at which percentage you just have to stop before passing out or even dying
Why someone is better than you at anything is because of genetics and training. What an eye opening discovery
Pfff
Just develop gills...
Easy
Didn't David Blaine do 17 minutes?
Snobby Chick pure oxygen attempt as well.
Cargo Shorts For President I saw him do it live right in front of my face for over 9 minutes. And he did it other times for much longer. I gotta say that I can at least vouch for the 9 minutes.
Cargo Shorts For President It's not he did a TED talk on it. He tried to do it as an illusion but couldn't figure out how to.
Cargo Shorts For President
David blain actually trained for months with these elite divers for that trick. he really did hold his breath.
Cargo Shorts For President No, he did it.

There was a time I wanted to learn more about free diving. I've always had the ability to hold my breath for an absurd amount of time. So long in fact that many people have thought I was dead. I use to swim down to the deep end of the dive pools and just walk around down there..People thought I was nuts.
so cool!
10m deep and you can probably get neutral or negative buoyancy to walk on the bottom.
