Jump Rope Record

Students from James Lick Middle School jump rope in the schoolyard as part of a statewide effort to set a Guinness world record for the most people jumping rope at the same time in San Francisco, Monday, Feb. 1, 2010. The 240 James Lick students were among the tens of thousands of students at more than 500 schools across California on Monday morning that tried to break the record for most people skipping rope at the same time. Organizers say more than 88,000 people participated, breaking the previous Guinness record held by 59,000 jumpers in Australia. The results still have to be certified by Guinness. (AP Photo/Jeff Chiu)
