Garry Turner from Caistor in England, set his world record in October 1999 when he stretched the skin on his stomach to 15.8 cm (6.25 in)! Mr Turner has an inherited disease of the connective tissue called Ehler-Danlos Syndrome. In the US it affects approximately 1 one in 400,000 people.
The main symptoms are skin fragility, abnormal scar formation, excessive bruising, joint laxity and sometimes rupture of arteries. Ehler-Danlos Syndrome is the name given to a group of more than 10 different inherited disorders.
Garry's party trick is to pull the skin on his neck over his mouth creating an attractive "turtle neck"!
