SLC woman loses record-breaking fingernails in crash
Salt Lake Tribune ^ | February 12, 2009 | Erin Alberty

Posted on 02/12/2009 12:40:02 PM PST by Squidpup

The Guinness World Record for longest fingernails was broken Wednesday, so to speak.

The fingernails Salt Lake City resident Lee Redmond has been growing since 1979 were broken off in a four-car pileup Wednesday in Holladay, said Salt Lake County sheriff's spokesman Don Hutson.

Redmond was a passenger in one of the cars in the 1:30 p.m. crash. She and at least two others were taken to a hospital with minor injuries, Hutson said. She was ejected from the vehicle, Hutson said.

Redmond's nails were 33 inches long when The Tribune last interviewed her in 2007. She then was 66. In a 1995 article, she said she once turned down $10,000 to trim her nails on Japanese TV.

How does she wipe her behind or do anything else that requires the use of hands?

That's what I was thinking! Short of having an ass-wiping Nome with her all the time, I would HOPE she uses a bidet. Other than that, she might just scoot her ass across the lawn like a dog.

Ejected and lived? That’s called lucky lottery there...you’ve got something like just under a 75% chance of death on ejection.
