Auckland man breaks bungy jumping world record

From Morning Report, 7:56 am on 11 October 2023

While many of you were fast asleep Tuesday night, an Auckland man set a new world record - by jumping off the Harbour Bridge 941 times in 24 hours.

Mike Heard was chasing the record of 765 bungee jumps set last year by Frenchman Francois-Marie Dibon.

He's doing it to raise money for the Mental Health Foundation, starting the challenge at 7am Tuesday.

Heard spoke to Corin Dann.
