New Zealand man leaps from bridge 103 times in 24-hour span

A New Zealand man has set a world record for
the most bungee jumps in 24 hours, diving 103 times Friday from
Auckland's Harbor Bridge.

Mike Heard set a new world mark with his 102nd jump, then made his 103rd to celebrate.

"I'm feeling pretty sore but not from anything you'd normally get from bungee, just from hitting the water," Heard said.

Heard broke the record of 101 jumps set in South Africa in 2002. His effort raised $3,600 for a children's cancer charity.
