On the 7th of August, 1986, something truly extraordinary took place. An object was thrown further than any other in human history. The object in question? An "Aerobie" - a flying ring designed for long-distance flight.
The Aerobie is not your average Frisbee. Its sleek, ring-like design and lightweight construction allow it to glide through the air with incredible efficiency. This design, coupled with a good throw, can lead to some truly record-breaking distances.
On that fateful day, the Aerobie was launched with such power and precision that it covered a whopping distance of 383 meters (1257 feet). Just to put that into perspective, that's longer than three football fields laid end to end!
The thrower, Scott Zimmerman, was no stranger to the Aerobie. With his background in mechanical engineering and his passion for flying objects, Zimmerman was the perfect candidate for this record-breaking feat. What a way to leave your mark in the annals of history!

The record set by the Aerobie and Scott Zimmerman has yet to be broken, making it one of the longest-standing records in history. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and the boundless possibilities of aerodynamics.
So, the next time you're out in the park tossing a Frisbee, remember the Aerobie. Who knows, maybe you could be the next Scott Zimmerman! 🏆🚀
