He didn’t get cold feet.

A daredevil who was buried in snow for over two hours earned a Guinness World Record.

Damian Kasprzyk of Poland took home the title for longest time spent in direct full body contact with snow when he braved the elements for 2 hours 12 minutes and 12 seconds.

It marked the 41-year-old dad of two’s first attempt at the snow record. He already holds the title for longest duration full body contact with ice at over 5 hours.

“Given that this was my very first time attempting a contact-with-snow challenge, the final time I achieved was very good! That said, I am competitive with myself, and I definitely want to improve upon this time in the future,” he told the record book.

Kasprzyk accomplished the frigid feat in Szlachtowa, Poland, on Feb. 21, with a team of medics by his side.

“The cold has never been something that scares me, though I always approach these extreme challenges with immense humility. I never take it lightly. That is why safety is always my number one priority. I always ensure that medical professionals … are on-site to monitor everything and keep me safe,” he added.

The thrill seeker, who ironically works at Thermo King, a manufacturer of temperature-controlled transport systems, said that being in the cold provides him with a sense of tranquility.

“Over time, I discovered that bonding with the cold gives me a profound peace of mind. It allows me to test where my true limits of endurance lie,” he said.

“I do this out of pure curiosity and a desire to push the boundaries of human capability, rather than just for the sake of holding records.”

Guinness World Records posted a video of Kasprzyk earning the title, and it was flooded with comments from those left awestruck by the accomplishment.

“Does his body know about hypothermia?” one asked.

“I can’t keep an ice cube on my palm for 2 mins,” another marveled.

“Three minutes, I’m dead,” someone else added.

“That’s some serious ‘chill’ level,” another quipped.
