Sure, to go in the Guinness book they have to have somebody there to check. That doesn't mean it didn't happen. It's quit possible as Anderson was generally recognized as the strongest man in the world for a whole lot of feats, like Olympic gold and a couple national championships, not just for this stunt. I'm sure there are some farm boys who could do this, but never receive recognition beyond local lore and bar bets, I've met a couple.
