Are you afraid of heights? If so, close this article now.

French balloonist Rémi Ouvrard just broke a world record by standing on top of a hot air balloon at an altitude of 11,932 feet.

The 28 year-old is not a stranger to setting world records by being nutty with hot air balloons: In February 2020, he balanced over a hot-air balloon at 3,992 feet above sea level.

And I get scared being 2/3 of the way up a step ladder.

These pictures must be seen to be believed:
