I dette dybt personlige foredrag fra TEDMED, beskriver tryllekunstner og stuntmand David Blaine hvad der skulle til for at holde vejret under vandet i 17 minutter -- en verdensrekord (kun et minut kortere end hele foredraget!) -- og hvad hans dødsforagtende arbejde betyder for ham.

David Blaine: Hvordan jeg holdte vejret i 17 min

Defying perceived limits, extreme endurance can inspire both science and wonder. After surviving a week in a coffin and 44 days in a glass box, one man set out to hold his breath underwater for over 17 minutes—risking blackout, heart trouble, and intense pain along the way. Training involved strict discipline, radical body control, and constant trial and error. His journey reveals that what seems impossible may only be a matter of persistence, adaptation, and relentless practice.
