Three
Flippenout athletes -- Sean Kennedy, Nathan
Gibeault and Andrew Muzzarelli -set a New Guinness World Record for the Highest Trampoline Bounce (Team). On July 13, 2012 on the boardwalk in
front of the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City,
New Jersey, Nathan and Andrew launched or
"kipped" Sean off of his belly to a new world
record height of 22 feet 0.52 inches above the
trampoline (over 26 feet above the ground).
Media coverage by NBC 40 out of Atlantic City,
expert witnesses including a licensed surveyor
to document the height, as well as spectators
out roaming the boardwalk witnessed the event.
The team of the three athletes had tried to hit
a height of 27.5 feet above the ground but was
an estimated 6 inches short.
Flippenout has plans to break the record again
in the future. |
