An acrobat set a dizzying record with 47 aerial hoop somersaults in one minute. She utilized her ten years of experience to accomplish the feat.

Yammel Rodriguez broke the women’s Guinness World Record when she performed 47 aerial hoop somersaults in Las Vegas.

Acrobat Sets Record For Aerial Hoop Somersaults

If you think that sounds like a lot, wait until you watch the video! I got the spins just watching it.

According to UPI, Rodriguez, “became intrigued by acrobatics after watching a performance at a music festival when she was 17, and she started out by learning tricks from YouTube tutorials” before being accepted to a renowned circus school in Canada.

Rodriguez is currently the only Latin female soloist performing in the Absinthe show in Las Vegas, per UPI.

The Mexican acrobat told Guinness World Records, “I feel very proud to represent my country and Latino women abroad. ”

According to UPI, Rodriguez gets ready for every performance by repeating her mantra, “Have fun, connect and enjoy the moment you are living.” Sounds tranquil. Especially before going up many feet above the ground to perform your art.

Personally, I’m scared of heights. So, obviously, I would never in a million years do this. Even if I wanted to, it’s sadly not in the cards for me. Watching the video comfortably on the couch is hard enough for me.

Not only does this trick require mental strength, but you need outstanding physical strength, as well. You need to be able to torque your body through the hoop over and over again. Sadly, again…I don’t think my body would allow me to do this.

I’m also a big fan of the movie Saving Silverman, and in the movie there’s a scene with aerial acrobats. Without spoiling anything, let’s just say it doesn’t go well for the acrobat. So, that would cross my mind the second I’m elevated.

Congratulations to Ms. Rodriguez on setting the record! Not all heroes wear capes.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. Thatā€™s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When heā€™s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, heā€™s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. Heā€™s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.

What Guinness World Record do you think you could set? Let us know in the comments!
