Garry Turner, of Caistor, Lincolnshire, England, stretched the skin of his stomach to a distended length of 15.8 cm (6.25 in) on the set of Guinness World Records: Primetime in Los Angeles, California, USA, on October 29, 1999.
Garry has a rare disease called Elhers-Danlos Syndrome, a disease of connective tissue, skin, tendons and internal organs. With this condition, collagen, which strengthens the skin and determines its elasticity is damaged, including a loosening of the skin, and "hypermobility" joints. In severe cases can cause the fatal collapse or rupture of blood vessels.
