One of the main problems that was faced was trying to find the skydivers when they landed, since there were 40 skydivers jumping they all had to land in different places to avoid any accidents. The Balloon Adventures pilot Peter Kollar (HUN) who was the main pilot of the balloon was also trained on parachute emergency and safety procedures for extra precautions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/balloon.hu\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/SkyDive_Dubai_Guinness_Records_40_Skydiver_From_Balloon2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1018\" alt=\"Balloon Adventures UAE &amp; SkyDive Dubai Guinness records 40 jump skydiver from balloon\" src=\"http:\/\/balloon.hu\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/SkyDive_Dubai_Guinness_Records_40_Skydiver_From_Balloon2.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/balloon.hu\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/SkyDive_Dubai_Guinness_Records_40_Skydiver_From_Balloon2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/balloon.hu\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/SkyDive_Dubai_Guinness_Records_40_Skydiver_From_Balloon2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/balloon.hu\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/SkyDive_Dubai_Guinness_Records_40_Skydiver_From_Balloon2-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll records are meant to be broken\u201d stated Bocanegra.
