Swiss man Luc Siegenthaler, German Lennart Florczak and American Tristan Kuhn jumped onto the airbag in Brunnen, Schwyz, on Aug. 9, and launched Swiss man Robin Steiner to a new record height for the sport known as "blobbing."
"Robin first came to one of our events around four years ago and had a go at being launched from the blob," Adrian Baumann, of experience provider Paintball Farm, told Guinness World Records. "He immediately loved it, and we quickly realized that he had an exceptional talent for it."
"Since then, he has regularly attended our blobbing events. That is how we got to know Robin, and eventually the idea came about to attempt a new world record with him," he said.
Steiner's peak height of 92.58 feet broke the previous Guinness World Record of 72 feet and 2.14 inches, which was set in 2012.
