Coach Colin Phillips

The Guinness World Record attempt for the most bungee jumps in 24 hours is going to be taking place in Dubai on March 20 and 21 at the Porsche Macan 24-Bungee event at the Dubai Autodrome meant for Breast Cancer Arabia.
The jumper is Dubai resident, professional fitness coach Colin Phillips, who throughout the last 10 months has been doing numerous consecutive jumps every weekend in preparation for the official World Record attempt.


The event is going to be operated by Gravity Zone, the only real permanent bungee site in the UAE which operates in partnership with the UK Bungee club and adheres to UK standards.
Phillips, a Casio GSHOCK sponsored athlete, has been working closely with the Gravity Zone ground crew and jump master, learning the business enterprise and technicalities of bungee jumping, as well as studying his body and its responses under the conditions.

For the big event, extra professional man power from the UK Bungee Club has been brought in as well as multiple crane drivers and a sports therapist, ensuring safety is a premier priority.

The present record for most bungee jumps in 24 hours stands at 105 jumps and was achieved by Kevin Scott Huntly of South Africa on May 8, 2011.
Phillips is aiming to perform 200 jumps by the end of the 24 hours. The state judicator from Guinness World Records is going to be on site to verify all jumps and ensure adherence to Guinness guidelines.

Supported by the Dubai Sports Council, desire  of the Porsche Macan 24-Bungee event is to improve awareness and funds for Breast Cancer Arabia, an organisation that has been able to complete big things with the support of the community and events such as for example this.


The initial bungee session will officially start at 7pm on Thursday March 20, and end at 11pm; the next session is from 6am to 10am 24 hours later and the final session is going to be from 2pm to 7pm.

During the big event, spectators can take pleasure in the Porsche Macan launch and display, relax in a DJ and chill-out zone or take the plunge by pre-booking a bungee jump of their very own between 10am-1pm on Friday, March 21.

Furthermore, an exercise zone thanks to Dubai gym CrossFit Metalize is going to be available on site for visitors to take part in a CrossFit workout.
