Brad Hess, of Vegas Indoor Skydiving, has broken the world record for doing the most forward somersaults in a wind tunnel in one minute.<\/p>\n

Hess grabbed the record with 53 somersaults on Feb. 8, 2014.<\/p>\n

A visit to Vegas Indoor Skydiving is one of the more interesting non-casino things to do in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

A vertical wind tunnel is used to give daredevils the skydiving experience, without the need to jump out of a functioning airplane. (It’s a lot cheaper than actual skydiving, too.)<\/p>\n

Brad Hess is general manager of Vegas Indoor Skydiving, and crushed the former record of 37 somersaults. Because Vegas, that’s how.<\/p>\n
