Guinness 'Blobbing' Record Broken After Robin Steiner Is Sent More Than 92 Feet Into the Air

A stunt in Switzerland has earned Robin Steiner a Guinness World Records title, and the numbers alone make it hard to ignore. Guinness said Steiner broke the world record in "blobbing" after being propelled more than 92 feet into the air, completing somersaults and landing in a lake.

A record built around height, flips and a lake landing

According to Guinness World Records, Steiner set a new mark in a stunt it identified as "blobbing." The key moment saw him launched upward from a giant airbag and rise to more than 92 feet.

Guinness also described that height as the equivalent of nine storeys, which helps explain why the attempt has drawn attention. This was not a short hop above the water. The record was tied to a launch that sent Steiner far above the lake before he came back down.

The attempt did not end with a simple drop. Guinness said Steiner performed somersaults while airborne and then landed in a lake. The combination of the height, the rotations and the water landing is what defines the clip people are watching.

What happened in Switzerland

The confirmed details are straightforward but striking. Steiner carried out the record-setting attempt in Switzerland. He used a very large airbag as the launch point, reached a height of more than 92 feet, rotated through somersaults and entered the lake below.

Guinness World Records said that sequence was enough to establish a new world record. While only a small set of details has been made public, those details paint a clear picture of the stunt itself. A giant airbag sent Steiner into the air to a height compared with a nine-storey building, and he completed the aerial part of the attempt before landing in the water.

That scale is the reason the record stands out. Even without extra background, the official description gives a vivid sense of the challenge. Rising more than 92 feet above a lake is one part of it. Adding somersaults before the landing is another.

Why this clip is getting attention

World record videos often become talking points because they can be summed up in one sentence, and this one certainly can. A man in Switzerland was launched from a huge airbag, climbed to more than 92 feet in the air, turned through somersaults and splashed down in a lake, with Guinness saying it was a record-breaking "blobbing" attempt.

The official wording leaves no doubt about the headline figure. More than 92 feet is the number attached to Steiner's jump, and Guinness paired it with the comparison of nine storeys. Those are the details that give the stunt its scale.

For anyone coming across the story for the first time, the simplest way to understand it is this: Guinness says Robin Steiner now holds the world record in "blobbing" after a launch in Switzerland sent him higher than 92 feet above a lake, with somersaults included before he landed.

What blobbing is

Blobbing is a water activity built around a large inflatable air cushion, often anchored on a lake or other calm water. One participant sits or lies near one end, while another jumps onto the opposite end from a platform, dock or tower. The sudden force compresses the inflatable and throws the first person upward before they land in the water.

It is mostly a thrill ride rather than a sport with fixed technique. How high someone goes depends on the size and firmness of the inflatable, the jumper’s timing and weight, the launch position, and how the inflatable is set up on the water.

What to check before trying it

The biggest safety issues are awkward takeoff, uncontrolled flight and bad water entry. Ask whether trained staff are supervising, whether the landing area is clear, and whether the water is deep enough for the setup. Rules on life jackets, helmets, age limits and swimming ability can vary by venue, so check before joining the queue.

Practical basics matter. Remove phones, keys and anything sharp. Listen closely for instructions on where to sit, how to hold your body and when to move. If you have neck, back, shoulder or joint problems, or you are not a confident swimmer, it may be better to skip it.

How to make it safer and more fun

Blobbing works best when everyone treats it like a managed activity, not a stunt. Only one launched rider should be in the landing zone at a time, and nobody should swim under or around the inflatable while others are using it. Good communication between the jumper, the launched rider and the operator helps prevent mistimed jumps.

If you are watching rather than taking part, stay clear of platforms and splash zones. Inflatable water activities can look simple on video, but they are safest when run at organised sites with proper spacing, clear signals and rescue equipment nearby.
