On July 30 In Italy, a man named Matteo Pavone made history by pulling three small airplanes while walking on his hands.

This amazing feat was done in Castelnuovo Don Bosco, Asti, Italy, and it earned him a Guinness World Record for the most light aircraft pulled in this unusual manner.

Pavone was once a rugby player, but a serious back injury forced him to stop playing the sport.

“The worst of them was a bad back injury,” Pavone explained to Guinness World Records. “The doctors said I could never play sport again, but they were wrong.” Instead of giving up, Pavone started training in different athletic activities, focusing on yoga, cardio, and strength exercises to prepare for his record-breaking attempt.

Despite his success, Pavone is not fully satisfied with the result. He believes he can do even better. “I’m proud of this record,” he said, “but I’m also not entirely satisfied with the final result. I’m sure I can pull four aircrafts or even more, so I’ll try to do that as soon as I can.”
