Oct. 12 (UPI) — A New Zealand man has astoundingly reclaimed the world record by bungee jumping an astonishing 941 times in a single day.
In 2017, Mike Heard initially set the record for the most bungee jumps in 24 hours outdoors using a 16-to-32-foot cord, with a total of 430 jumps. However, this record was subsequently surpassed in 2022 by François-Marie Dibon, who completed a remarkable 765 jumps.
Feeling determined to reclaim the title, Heard decided to live stream his attempt from the breathtaking Auckland Harbor Bridge. After an arduous 24-hour endeavor, he successfully accomplished a mind-boggling 941 bungee jumps.
Despite experiencing occasional feelings of sea sickness or motion sickness, Heard persevered and remained undeterred. “So it didn’t slow us down or affect us at all,” he candidly declared in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
The record-breaking event also served as a fundraising opportunity for the Mental Health Foundation, contributing to a cause deeply important to Heard. “We’ve got a problem in this country and I want to help expose that and get Kiwis talking,” he passionately expressed in an interview with One News.
Heard is in the process of submitting evidence from his astonishing feat to Guinness World Records for official recognition and a chance to reclaim the coveted title.
