There’s A New Balloon Popping Speed Record
We’ve reported on the exploits of Idaho man, David Rush before. Remember the old Guinness Book of World Records book that you’d buy each year at your school’s book fair? It was about 2 inches thick with razor thin pages. There was no telling how many records were actually contained within its covers. Well, Rush just sits around going through the annals, finding the most obscure records to tackle. Last time I checked he currently owns more than 260 records. His latest (he tries a new one weekly)? “Fastest 10 Balloons Popped Between Two People.” As Rush explains in the video’s beginning, previous record holders have used a “hugging” method, he and his partner utilized a more “efficient” way.
And it’s hard to argue his logic as David Rush and his frequent collaborator Johnathan Hannon completed the task in 15.25 seconds besting the world’s previous best effort of 17.99 seconds.
