Fastest Text Messaging While Skydiving

Samsung attempted to establish the Guinness World Record for "Fastest Text Messaging While Skydiving."

A team of professional skydivers text messaged while freefalling from 12,000 feet outside the Los Angeles city limits at the Samsung Mobile XTREME TEXTING event. The team of 10 skydivers used a variety of Samsung Mobile messaging phones during this challenge.

"Fastest Text Messaging While Skydiving" will be a new entry into Guinness World Records database if successfully attempted. It will join the current record for "Fastest Text Message" currently held by Jeremy Sng Gim (Singapore), who typed the prescribed 160-character phrase on his mobile phone in 41.40 seconds on February 24, 2008.
