Kevin dragged a mass equal to about 30 fully grown elephants all by himself!

Kevin Fast isn't just a regular guy; he's a Canadian priest who happens to have superhero strength. To raise money for charity, Kevin decided to test his muscles against a gigantic CC-177 military cargo plane.

He put on a thick body harness, attached it to the colossal aircraft, and leaned forward with all his might. Slowly but surely, his boots gripped the concrete, and the massive plane actually started to roll!

Kevin dragged the staggering weight 8.8 meters all by himself, without any downhill slopes or mechanical help. Using the roar of the cheering crowd to power through, he completed the ultimate solo pull.

How Is That Even Possible?

It comes down to extreme leg strength and overcoming "rolling resistance." The hardest part is the beginning. Once a plane's wheels finally start moving, momentum helps keep it rolling. But getting nearly 189 tonnes to budge requires perfect gripping boots, a massive core, and a superhuman forward lean!

The man is grinning through the physical effort, sweat flying off his forehead. A crowd of amazed onlookers and official judges with clipboards are jumping in the air, throwing confetti and cheering wildly as the giant wheels of the plane roll forward.
