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- world-record-British-adventurer-achieves-global-leaping-151-times-single-day.html "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." - Abraham Lincoln "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." - Thomas Edison EFTA00371873
