    Erin Conn, a representative from AcroSports, was optimistic that they would succeed. She coached participants beforehand, telling them to have strong arms, and to "keep reaching up to the sky with your feet."

    The Guinness world record for the most people doing a handstand simultaneously was 399 at an event organised by the Braderie Comity of Wevelgem in Wevelgem, Belgium on 17 September 2006.

    Following the attempt, Handstand posted to Facebook that it was a "massive success," and "we couldn't have done it without all of you."
