Rian Kanouff, from Nebraska, revealed that he contacted Guinness about setting the record for nude jumps and was told that he would have his own brand new record as long as he completed 25 jumps in the time frame.

He explained that he came up with the idea to raise money for a mental health charity after the recent passing of a friend as it is traditional for skydivers to perform their 100th jump in the buff.

Kanouff told KOLN-TV: "My friend that we lost to mental health issues was about [that] close to his 100th jump.

"Close enough that he talked about it all the time, and he didn't get to make it. So I am out here for him and a lot of other people that we lost."
