Pinoy Participantes’ broke Fear Factor world records
List of stunts conquered by our fellow Pinoy Participantes:
Slippery Car (Auto Resbaladizos)
Sitting in the driver’s seat of a car hanging 20 meters above the ground, a participante has to go out and get the car’s license plate attached at the front of the car. The participante has to put the plate inside the car then get the keys located at the trunk of the car.
The previous world record for the Slippery Car stunt was 3 minutes and 7 seconds, held by a Fear Factor Hungary contestant, A Rettegés Foka. But Manuel Chua performed the stunt in just 44 seconds, which is the fastest in the all Fear Factor franchises around the globe.
Net Under the Helicopter (Red Bajo en Helicóptero)
From one side of a flying helicopter, the Participante has to go to the other side by crossing the net hanging under the helicopter. They also have to go back inside the helicopter and press the button to stop the clock.
Among all the participantes, only Manuel Chua and Jommy Teotico accomplished the stunt. Manuel did his in 26 seconds, while Jommy finished his in 34 seconds; which are both faster than the previous world Fear Factor record of 36 seconds by Frente al Miedo, during the Colombian version of the franchise.
Reparking in the Truck (Reingresar en el Camión)
The Participante has to drive the car out of the moving truck, make a u-turn and drive the car back into the truck. The one with the faster time in the stunt wins P50,000.
Jommy Teotico drove the car so fast that it jumped and piled itself over one of the reserve cars inside, injuring eight of the Argentine crew who were in the truck. Despite this, he not only won over Manuel Chua but he also broke another world Fear Factor record (29 seconds for Jommy, 53 seconds for Manuel); the previous one was 30 seconds by Frente al Miedo during the Colombian version of the franchise.
Buried Alive (Enterado Vivo)
A participante has to enter a chamber under the ground and stay there for five minutes while the trapdoor from which they entered is being buried in sand. Once sand enters the cavity through the trapdoor, they must then dig themselves out of the cavity, emerge from it and run to the Fear Factor logo. The slowest one to emerge from the cavity is eliminated.
Marion dela Cruz finished the stunt in 3:53, beating the previous record of 4:09, set by a contestant of the Turkish version of Fear Factor.
