WORLD'S BIGGEST WATER BALLOON FIGHT |
Sunday, 23 April 2006 |
We have brought you fights of feather with proportions such as Pillow Fight and target assassination style Street Wars. On Saturday the 21st April, Sydney's infamous Coogee beach ( Bondi's baby brother ) played host to the World's biggest water balloon fight
thanks to major sponsor Xbox. Picture it, 2,921 participants divided
into two teams launching over 55,000 water balloons at each other.
Thats a lot of water! Balloons were launched with a count down arrival
of a chopper hovering above the crowd. Participants came from as far as
South America and Europe to take part in this record breaking event, to
celebrate the Aussie launch of Xbox 360 Live. Global record breaking
events are fast becoming the event de jour, thanks to the brilliant
organization and financial backing of players such as Xbox. Money
raised went to local surf life saving clubs, who end up rescuing about
8 thousand overseas visitors to Sydney untamed seas ever year.
