An Australian man has set a Guinness world record after spinning an entire Ferris wheel around in just 16 minutes 55 seconds--using his bare hands. Troy Conley-Magnusson, 39, achieved the feat at Sydney's Luna Park to raise funds for the charity Little Wings, which benefits seriously ill children and their families.

He attempted the record to honour the memory of 11-year-old Zac, who sadly passed away last year after battling eye cancer.
Guinness world record shared a time-lapse video of his attempt and captioned it as, ''New record: Fastest time to rotate a Ferris wheel - 16 minutes 55 seconds by Troy Conley-Magnusson (Australia) This Ferris wheel, at Luna Park in Sydney, is in the shadow of the Sydney Opera House and was entirely rotated by hand.''
