Hold the 'Chariots' -- a French firefighter has broken the world records for running distance and for time to make 100 meters without oxygen while wearing a protective suit alight with fire, Guinness World Records announced Thursday.
Firefighter Jonathan Vero, 39, also moonlights as a stuntman, and broke both records in a single run on his childhood track in his hometown of Haubourdin, France. Mr. Vero was wearing a protective suit set on fire and did not have oxygen, running as a literal “human torch.”
Starting out his run, Mr. Vero hit 100 meters in 17 seconds, surpassing the previous mark set by Briton Antony Britton by 7.58 seconds. Mr. Vero would keep running another 172.25 meters, with a total distance of 272.25 meters , breaking that record, also previously held by Mr. Britton, as well. The distance record is highly competitive, having been broken and thereby changing hands seven times since it was first set by Briton Keith Malcolm in 2009.New record: The fastest full body burn 100 m sprint without oxygen - 17 seconds by Jonathan Vero
Jonathan also set the record for the farthest distance ran in full body burn during this attempt at 272.25 metres! 🔥
