BRUSSELS: Hundreds of swimmers jumped in a pool in Belgium to form the world’s biggest cannonball splash and creating a Guinness World Record (GWR).
At an aquatic park, 345 people lined up along a 164-foot Olympic pool to attempt the dive, reported GWR.
A cannonball attempt is when a person dives into the pool by jumping as high as possible, hugging their knees in the air to hit the water like a cannonball.
Guinness officials identified 298 people who properly jumped in a cannonball form thus creating a record-breaking splash. The last record was set in 2013 in New Zealand where 232 people were successful.
The organization defined a proper attempt as one “where the knees must be raised up towards the chest and with both hands clasped around the knees.”
Swimmers had to ensure their position throughout “even when hitting the water”, GWR said. (Int’l Monitoring Desk)
