The boys began the attempt Friday morning at the
Bounce-a-Lot entertainment center southwest of Detroit in
Flat Rock. They bounced two at a time in shifts in an inflatable
castle.
Ten-year-old Mason Brott says the bouncing wasn't
as tough as he thought it would be.

"He
thought about it at the end of the school year, and I said,
'OK' when he asked me to do it," said Jerry Lakos, 10, who
attended Chapman Elementary with Mason. "I really didn't think
we were going to do this."
The previous world record for the Longest consecutive
bounce was 19 hours and 24 minutes, set nearly two years
ago.
