His visit to Cape Town marked his sixth world record in his quest to set seven world records across seven continents.

The Austrian Rock, as he is known, has also lifted a 661kg helicopter on his shoulder for 30 seconds during a stunt in Austria.

He also holds the longest duration - 50 seconds - for restraining four motorcycles.

After crossing the finishing line last week, Müllner raised his fists in victory.
