I had a coworker attempting to set that record. He was having a hard time getting the material right for the hula hoop. You can’t just buy one that size. You gotta make it. Strength/weight/stiffness all play a big role.

Appears to be just bent galvanized metal pipe?

Looks like it. It’s possible he just sucked. He was trying to keep the weight down instead of just dealing with it.
