Guinness World Records (GWR) regularly shares videos of different records on their Instagram page that leave people stunned. Just like how this video is making people’s jaw drop. The interesting video shows a man doing helicopter spins while skysurfing. What, however, is intriguing is how the man did that to break his own previous record in the same category.

“Most helicopter spins while skysurfing: 175 by Keith "Kēbē" Edward Snyder,” GWR wrote while sharing the video of the man hailing from the US. They also added that the incredible video – that may very well make you dizzy – was captured by Instagram user Monica Noncheva.

He previously attempted the feat in 2021 against the backdrop of the Pyramids of Giza and bagged the record by spinning 160 times. "Nothing can really prepare you for what that feels like, when the tailgate of an Egyptian military C130 lowers and you’re looking at Africa for the first time... it’s a very amazing, very powerful feeling,” he said to GWR after creating the record for the first time.

The video of his recent record opens to show Snyder jumping out of a plane thousands of feet above the ground. He is then seen doing continuous helicopter spins.

The video was shared a day ago. Since being posted, the amazing clip has accumulated nearly 2.7 lakh views and the numbers are only increasing. The share has also prompted people to post various kinds of interesting comments.

“Now THAT is a world record,” expressed an Instagram user. “Now THIS is a record worth mentioning! No silly stuff here,” commented another. “Seems like he didn't even lose altitude with all those spins,” posted a third. “Wooooow,” wrote a fourth.
