The four-time aerobatic paragliding world champ completed 568
loops after jumping from 19,700 feet today, a leap the Spaniard made to
celebrate the end of the world. Well, the Mayan prediction of the end of the
world, anyway. It is fitting, then, that Llorens made the jump in Guatemala.

“I wanted to take the chance to achieve this feat to mark such a special day and
thus recover the world record I had in 2009,” Llorens said in a statement from
his sponsor, Red Bull.
