Ferdinand Morellec, the French barefoot-stunt enthusiast, spent 13 hours, 13 minutes, and 13 seconds on a Sadhu nail board in Dubai, headphones on, toes gripping steel. Trending queries like “Who holds the world record for standing on nails?” and “Why do people stand on nail beds?” find their answer in Morellec, who said: “I wanted to show that everyone, with the right mind and preparation, can do anything,” as his friends counted down his final moments of iron-footed zen.

That countdown climaxed with Morellec’s feet finally peeling from the board, his record toppling the previous 12-hour feat—while YouTube viewers wondered, “Are nail beds safe?” and “Can standing on nails really boost mindfulness?” The scene: a Frenchman serenely meditating atop a spike trap, surrounded by Dubai’s skyline, is the kind of paradox that has yoga instructors and Guinness adjudicators questioning the limits of human oddity, all for a certificate and a legendary limp.

The only man to outlast Morellec’s 13-hour barefoot ordeal was Ken Owen, who lounged on a bed of nails for a mind-bending 300 hours in the UK, inventing the world’s most uncomfortable power nap.
