A couple from Ukraine haven’t had enough of their earrings. So on May 23, they decided to take piercing on to a higher level and claimed one of the world’s most bizarre records – the longest rope crossing using clamps pierced into their own backs.
Mariya Gafitsa, 23 and Pavlo Klets, 24, completed an eye-watering journey across the 550 meter wide Dnieper River in Ukraine’s capital, Kiev. Not only that they have broken a world record but most probably have beaten pain barriers.
The fearless couple had clamps attached and pierced under the skin on their backs.
They prepared to ride a Tyrolean traverse over the Dnieper River.
Suspended by a cable wire with metal clamps pierced directly into the skin of their backs, they took on the painful crossing.
They each wore a back-up harness in case the weight caused the skin on their back to tear.
The pair successfully made it to the other side though their backs looked a little worse.
Watch the video below to witness the painful way of showing their love:
