it's not that easy to fool guiness. My daughter and I (above) holding the one we took part in. Which happened to be a scuba record... The number of checks is impressive. They get a bajillion applications every year, most don't get approved. If you can't show a testable premise to prove or disprove they just reject you and go on. They do all the counting and testing themselves, they don't just listen to you say "we did it" and give you the record. And this was a fairly basic dive. One that involves the real potential for death, I'm sure is much more stringent.
Not too many kids get into guiness for their 12th birthday.
