Man sets new bungee jumping world record - details!

The Frenchman holds the world record for most bungee jumping in a single day. He is also a Guinness World Record holder.

For most people height is just a little scary. For some, climbing stairs may seem daunting. However, there are still some who simply climb the Himalayas. And there are always plenty of adventure lovers around the world ready for Bungee Jumping. One of them is Francois-Marie Dibon from France.

World Record

Francois-Marie Dibon, now 44, holds the new world record for bungee jumping 765 times from the Gary Bridge in Perthshire. That too within 24 hours. Dipon has done 765 Bungee Jumpings starting yesterday at 10am and continuing until 10am today.

He claims to have trained for many years, working with his team of 15 to achieve this feat.

Previous record

Prior to this, Mike Heard had made the record of 430 bungee jumps in 24 hours from the Auckland Harbor Bridge in 2017. In this case, the record is currently broken. Guinness World Records officials say he broke his previous record with his 431st Bungee Jumping at 10.30pm last night.

Talking about it, Dipon happily said, "I was scared when I saw the height. I thought I'd get over this. I soon realized that bungee jumping was the best way to go. I tried for 5 years for this feat. I finally reached the goal."

Dipon, who made his Bungee Jumping debut 11 years ago, and his team say he has achieved this feat by continuing to train due to his interest in it.
