World record attempt: Franz Müllner as human T-bar

Franz Muellner to attempt human T-bar record

By Luis Monse

Franz Muellner "The Austrian Rock" is trying for a new record - as a human T-bar lift.

He wants to pull up the mountain as many children as possible for what will be his 13th World record.

"The difficulty is the strong friction of the skis on the snow," he said.

The world record attempt will take place on Thursday, 16 February 2012, at the Central Station in the Grossarl Panoramabahn.

At 11 clock the tests will begin and from 14 clock the world record attempt will begin.

Children between 6 and 10 years are invited to be part of the record attempt.
