Video: World record 245 people bungee jump off Brazilian bridge - together

October 24, 2017

A group of 245 thrill-seekers have broken the world record for the most people to simultaneously bungee jump, after they leapt from a bridge near Sao Paulo, Brazil, yesterday.

While Guinness World Records have not yet officially confirmed the daring group feat as a record, the previous highest number of group bungee jumpers was 149, also in Brazil in April 2016.

The bridge outside Sao Paulo from which the participants jumped was 30-metres high.
