Known in his native New Zealand as a heavyweight boxer, pro wrestler and MMA fighter, Reuben De Jong also holds the distinction of owning the Guiness Book of World Records mark for running through the most panes of safety glass in one minute.

In 2009, De Jong smashed through 15 panes. Recently, he tried to break his own record on a Chinese TV show by upping the ante to 17 panes of glass. The results were surprising (and humorous), as De Jong failed to even approach his old record, let alone beat it.

Check out the video of De Jong's misadventure below.
