Breaking a chain (6,1 tonn), mystery strong man and icelandic legend, Reynir Sterki Leósson 

My father knew this man, he like many others never understood his strength.

This is not fake. The chain has been investegated and studied. There are many storys of him he lifted a truck and broke thick cement with his first and do unbeliveble thins on his car.. im an icelandid and i know this story

Thank you so much for this! Incredible footage!

nice jumper

6100 kilograms 6.1 metric tonne

Hi all my brothers .can tell me more about this man .where can I read about him..he's very strong

The way the chain is fixed on the bottom side may be the secret: The chain is mounted with one link sideways, this link and the link above it is subjected to a lot of bending forces and leverage. Maybe the fixture is even designed for maximum stress on the chain. As a comparsion: Snapping a pencil in half is easy. Breaking it by pulling straight on its ends is nearly impossible. Anyways, nice show!

No fake ,strongest man ever.

he´s unfortunately dead but i´m pretty sure he would have made records no one could break :)

I guess he is verry strong, but it can be seen from distance that it is using leverage from back-side and knees, and that chain I guess isnt holding actualy 6 tones.

6,100 TONS? I don't think the chain is rated anywhere NEAR that. It does mean 6,100lbs right?

U can heat up steel and make it weaker. There's no other way.

Really doubt it's pounds, seeing as how it wasn't in use here.

Steroidiiiiiii
