Amazing: Gymnast sets horizontal bar backflip record

Gymnast Ashley Watson has set a new Guinness world record performing a horizontal bar backflip. The Leeds gymnast is seen flying 5.87m (almost 20ft) through the air. Watson is a part of the Great Britain gymnastics squad and it wasn't until his sixth attempt that he managed to complete the record.

Humans can fly!
