Ivan Trifonov has just added a fifth Guinness World Record to his collection after reportedly becoming the first person to complete an underground hot air balloon ride.
The 70-year-old daredevil, in association with the Croatian tourism board, completed the feat at the Mamet Cave near the country's west coast.
