"I tried this record a couple of times before I officially broke it but I was still terrified each time," Rush said. "I wore a helmet, gloves, a thick jacket, a neck gator and long pants but I still felt vulnerable."

Guinness World Records set the minimum distance to originate the record at 32.8 feet, and Rush surpassed the goal by walking 206 feet and 8 inches.
