31-foot-tall unicycle breaks Guinness World Record

Jan. 27 (UPI) -- A Florida man earned a Guinness World Record after building a 31-foot, 10-inch tall unicycle and taking it for a ride.

Guinness World Records said Wesley Williams' latest unicycle broke his own previous record for the world's tallest rideable unicycle.

Williams, 25, of Florida, broke the record just over a year after breaking his back during a unicycle crash in the semi-final of Spain's Got Talent 2021. Williams survived a fall of 27 feet that required five surgeries.

Guinness World Records required Williams to ride his tall unicycle a distance of at least 27 feet, 10 inches, which he accomplished Dec. 29 at Weltweihnachts Circus in Stuttgart, Germany.
