The Guinness world record for the fastest toilet is the "Bog Standard", a motorcycle and sidecar hidden under a bathroom set consisting of bathtub, sink, and laundry bin, which can travel to a speed of 68 kmh (42.25 mph) and was presented in Milan, Italy.

Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest roll of toilet paper: 2.97 m (9 ft 8.9 in) in diameter, created by Charmin (Procter & Gamble) in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA.

  "I flew into Australia yesterday and came out here to jump straight on the toilet," said the 31-year-old.

 "That was so fun and I'm stoked to get the record."

  Van Vugt, who is in Australia to perform at the Nitro Circus stunt show based on the hit MTV series, holds a host of world records, including being the first woman to backflip a dirt bike.
