A MAN from France broke the world record for the fastest 100-metre while on fire without oxygen. Guinness World Records posted the clip of the record online. Jonathan Vero, a 39-year-old fireman from France, has etched his name in the record books by accomplishing two remarkable feats.
He not only broke the world record for the longest distance full-body burn without oxygen, covering 272.25m, but also for the fastest full-body burn 100m sprint without oxygen, clocking in at 17 seconds.
According to Guinness World Records, Vero is a professional stuntman who ‘always had a passion for fire,’ and he’s played with it since childhood. He balances his time between extinguishing fires as a fireman and captivating audiences on fire shows, where he performs acts such as fire juggling, fire eating, and even transforming himself into a ‘human torch’. He attempts these records to push the limits and to push open the doors of the Guinness World Records.
“New record: The fastest full body burn 100m sprint without oxygen – 17 seconds by Jonathan Vero (France) Jonathan also set the record for the farthest distance run in full body burn during this attempt at 272.25m!” wrote Guinness World Records while sharing a video on Twitter. After achieving the world record titles, Vero said, “This performance has a lot of meaning for me, for my job as a fireman and for the people who trained me and watched me grow.”
The video shared on Twitter has since accumu- lated over 2.4 million views, and the numbers are still increasing.
