His appetite for records never seems to end. Police constable Velmurugan of Tamil Nadu is all set to make an attempt at creating his 14th Guinness record.

The constable, attached to the neighbouring Tirupur station, plans to jump from an height of 36 feet into a tank filled with 18 cms of water on September 3 at the VOC Park Grounds in the city.

The 35-year-old is attempting to break the record of A Cubert of United States, who jumped from a height of 28 feet into a tank filled with 30 cms of water in 1999.

Velmurugan other records listed in the Guinness Book of World Records include:

According to the Guinness Book of World Records the individual to hold the most current Guinness records is Ashrita Furman of Jamaica, New York, USA. Ashrita holds 20 official world records across a range of disciplines, including milk-bottle balancing, lunging, skipping, forward rolling, glass balancing, joggling, and, most recently, pushing an orange with his nose (fastest mile)!.
