The person who held their breath the longest was David Blaine, who set the record at 17 minutes and 4.4 seconds in 2008. Holding the breath for excessive periods can be extremely dangerous and should not be attempted without medical supervision. The body needs oxygen to function properly, and depriving it for too long can lead to oxygen deprivation, unconsciousness, and even death.
