The Guinness World Records are a monument to human potential and the seemingly infinite possibilities of human success in a world of remarkable feats and extraordinary achievements.
These records constantly push the boundaries of what we thought was possible, from the tallest human being to the longest fingernails.
A recent addition to this renowned list is a spectacular feat by a teenager who successfully caught a tennis ball dropped from a dizzying height of 469.5 feet.

To catch a tennis ball dropped by a drone flying 469.5 feet above him, an 18-year-old broke the Guinness World Record. According to Cameron Heinig, he and his friend Julian, a drone pilot, trained for two summers to break the record for the biggest tennis ball catch.
Heinig admitted to Guinness World Records that he “didn’t even come close” to catching the ball the first summer, but said he improved the following year after practicing with a baseball mitt.

When his attempts with gloves were regularly successful, he attempted to catch the ball with his bare hands.
“I was a little worried that it would hurt, but I thought it was worth it for a Guinness World Records title,” he said.
Heinig’s formal attempt had to be postponed because the drone had to be modified to include a reflector after a surveyor hired to measure its height determined it was too small. Heinig caught the ball on his third down on the day of his official down.
According to the surveyor, it was dropped from a height of 469.5 feet, 75.4 feet higher than the previous record.
When did you break the record?
Heinig broke the record on August 16 and 23.
