The world’s highest rope swing record has officially been smashed.

Matthew Karsten (Matt to his mates) is a full-time adventurer, travel blogger, and photographer who has been exploring the world for the past five years. Yeah, yeah, we know, we didn't think it was still a real job either. A self-titled "vagabond", Matt believes that travel should't have to be expensive. All you need, or so he says on his site, is a sense of adventure. His latest trick? Hurling himself off the roof of Moses Mabhida Stadium in Durban to complete the world's longest rope swing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrY6OJk-z0I You can connect with Matt on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Youtube where you can find more interesting adventures, including a hike through Utah's Zion National Park, and his nomadic trips into the deepest parts of the rainforest.
