Shoulder World Records

Flexibility master David Passaro wowed audience members by setting a new world record for deepest shoulder blades. Passaro protruded his chest forward while pulling back his shoulders to create his record-setting 3 3/4 inch blades, beating Duke of Denver’s existing 3-inch record. This feat was performed on August 29, 2008 at the Burning Man festival in Black Rock City, Nevada. Witnesses Dan Rollman and Tonya Zohba were on hand to take measurements and document the achievement. #BM2008
