Scott was given a five-minute break for every hour he spent on the swing during the attempt. Scott took a nap at 3 a.m. during his break.

The previous world record of 34 hours was set by a man named Quinn Levy in 2020.

According to TOI, Scott told a news outlet -“It’s been good, the tops of my legs are a wee bit sore but apart from that, I’ve been fine. It’s been a good experience. It’s been challenging, but it’s been really good. I’m very excited,” Scott told a news outlet.
