Previously in an independent presentation, serial Guinness World Record-setter David Rush again broke the boundaries of human dexterity and speed. In a recent viral attempt, Rush and his long-time friend Jonathan “Hollywood” Hannon unofficially set the record for the quickest balloon burst between two individuals, bursting 10 balloons in a mere 7.5 seconds.
Both initially broke the previous record of 17 seconds with 15 seconds. Nevertheless, their achievement was also short-lived as Colton Shepherd and Cameron Severson improved by finishing the task in 11 seconds.
Not willing to lose the title, Rush and Hannon attempted again and also managed to reduce their time to 7.5 seconds, a new record for the quickest balloon burst.
