This weekend was a big one for Jonathan “Hollywood” Hannon’s wife Lisa Marie. It wasn’t because she broke her very first Guinness World Record (pending approval) (which you can watch here), it’s because she graduated from her accelerated nursing program. Congratulations!

To break this record I had to round up 5 other people who would be willing to sit on balloons to burst them and who would be safe to hang out within an open garage during a pandemic: insert my wife Jennifer, my neighbor Seth, my neighbor who just graduated, and her family.

Ryan Gerulf, Lisa Marie Hannon, and Christina Hatfield all broke their first Guinness World Record’s title while Seth Lemmons, Jennifer Rush are veterans at record-breaking. I positioned the balloons on the chairs and they each sat on two to burst them (without using their hands). It took several tries because the balloon didn’t burst, a supply balloon burst, or I failed to get them grabbed and positioned properly. After several practice runs we were able to demolish the previous record for the fastest time to burst ten balloons (team of six) of 13.04 seconds for with a new mark is 9.56 seconds.
