This is a video of Cassie, a pair of robotic legs inspired by those of an ostrich, setting the world record for fastest 100m run by a two-legged robot. Cassie finishes with a time of 24.73-seconds. For reference, the current world record for a human is Usain Bolt’s 9.58 seconds

This is some point-of-view footage from the Guinness World Record highest swing, located at the Yunyang Longgang Scenic Spot in Chongqing, China. The swing itself is 30-stories tall, and as if that wasn’t enough to make you evacuate your bowels, it swings you out over a 2,300-foot cliff at a

Because there’s a first time for everything, these are two different angles of megaflipper Ernest Tramp performing the world’s first nine consecutive backflips (aka Nonuple Kaboom) on a trampoline, almost hitting the moon in the process. Damn, that’s a lot of flips. Some might argue too many, and I would

This is a video of the Guinness World Record longest domino wall crumbling. The wall, which measures a respectable 4-foot tall, 169-feet long, and contains 54,321 dominos, takes a full 90-seconds to fall from beginning to end. For reference, I don’t have a steady enough hand to build a domino

In what I assume is a self-shot audition tape for a low budget circus, this is a video of Coco the guinea pig performing an impressive 19 “tricks” in one minute. That’s a trick almost every three seconds! For reference, my dog Margaret only knows how to sit and lay

In much less dangerous world record news, this is a video of musician and Youtuber Davie504 playing the world record holder for bass guitar with the most strings, with a respectable 69. Nice number choice. Of course it’s hard to play all of those strings at once, which is a

This is a video of big wave surfer/crazy person Sebastian Steudtner riding the new world record for largest wave ever surfed, with an almost unfathomably 26.21-meter (85.99-foot) behemoth. Could you even imagine? I can’t even imagine. And this is coming from a guy who once bodyboarded a 18-incher in Ocean
