Skydiver Ashik Soars to New Heights with Guinness World Record and Bangladeshi Flag

Ashik Chowdhury, a Bangladeshi skydiver, set a new Guinness World Record by freefalling from a plane with the Bangladesh flag, achieving the ‘Greatest Distance Freefall with a Banner/Flag.’ He broke Indian skydiver Jitin Vijayan’s previous record by approximately 1,500 feet, with a total freefall distance of about 38,000 feet. Guinness World Records confirmed Ashik's accomplishment on Monday. Ashik, who aimed to break two records, expressed his satisfaction with this recognition. His record-setting jump, dubbed 'The Largest Flag Flown in Stratosphere,' occurred on May 25 in Memphis, USA, featuring a flag nearly 7 square feet in size.
