00:00The new world record vertical jump was just broken, but there's a little problem.
00:03So this is Ty Jackson and he is 5 feet 4 inches tall and he just tested a 51.5 inch vertical jump,
00:10which is an entire inch higher than the previous record of 50.5 inches held by two different guys.
00:14But here's where people get a little skeptical. So the guy that Ty Jackson tested his new vertical
00:18jump record with is an NBA trainer named Paul. And the problem is Paul was also the tester of
00:23a previous record jump that turned out to not be legit. This was a few years ago when a guy
00:27named Jamal Harris supposedly tested a 52 inch vertical jump. And the reason why it wasn't
00:30legit was because of the way that they tested Jamal's standing reach. But the jump record
00:34by Ty just happened today and so far is legit.
