Although the success of the attempt has not yet been confirmed, the group unofficially broke the previous record of a mass jump involving 149 participants.
Attached to their harness, 245 men and women simultaneously leaped off a 30-metre-high bridge and swayed like pendulum in a world record attempt in Hortolandia, an hour from Sao Paulo.
Yet to be recognised by Guinness World Records, the group unofficially broke the previous record of a mass jump involving 149 participants, back in April 2016. The previous record was made at the same place.
