A French firefighter earned a Guinness World Record for running a distance of 893 feet after being set on fire.
Jonathan Vero, 39, donned a protective suit and was set ablaze on a track in Haubourdin to break the record for longest distance full body burn run without oxygen.
Vero completed the first 328 feet in a time of 17 seconds, breaking a second record for fastest full body burn 100 meter sprint without oxygen.
Both records were previously held by British man Antony Britton, who ran a distance of 670 feet and finished the first 100 meters in 24.58 seconds.
Vero works as both a firefighter and a professional stuntman. He told GWR he "always had a passion for fire" and has "never stopped playing with it."

I thought Richard Pryor set that record back in the early ‘80s ?

At first I thought those mostly peaceful riots in France set him ablaze.

There’s a “world record” for everything and anything these days. How exciting. Not!

A French firefighter earned a Guinness World Record for running a distance of 893 feet after being set on fire. How much Guinness was involved in coming up with this as a competition?

It would be a Frenchman, no less. Or, it could have been a Florida man. If they were to have put the two side-by-side, the record would have been a greater distance. Just sayin’....

I don’t think the results are fully in from the French riots of the past week. We may find his record ‘eclipsed’.
