VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — You may “flip” when you see this! A Salem Middle School student who almost lost her leg after being attacked by a dog, does around 40 back handsprings — the current world record is 36.

Danielle Harbour said she thought breaking the record would be fun. School officials said the next step is to submit her achievement to the Guinness World Records.
