A 33-year-old has set a Guinness World record for most bungee jumps in 24 hours, by taking the plunge a nerve-
shattering 151 times. Colin Phillips kicked off the attempt from a 100ft high crane and edged past the previous
record of 105 jumps. The attempt did not get off to the best of starts, with Phillips smashing into a tree on his
second jump. He later dislocated his little finger on his left hand after getting caught in his harness during one
plunge, which was clicked back into place by the on-hand medical team, allowing Phillips to continue. Despite
planning to complete 200 jumps, Phillips stopped on the 151st jump after the various aches and pains he had
sustained during the attempt took their toll. "The jumps were aggressive on the body, depending on the wind and
the way harness was attached," Phillips said. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-2589879/Bungee-jump-
