Austrian Stuntman Sets World Record Pulling Car While His Body Burns

Austrian daredevil Josef Tödtling earned a Guinness World Record by pulling a car 328 feet in 56.42 seconds while his entire body was on fire. The stunt made him the first person to hold the record for fastest 100 meter car pull in full body burn. Video shows a support team member following with a fire extinguisher during the dangerous attempt. Three extinguishers were needed to douse the flames afterward. Tödtling already holds multiple fire-related records, including longest duration full body burn without oxygen at 5 minutes and 41 seconds, farthest distance pulled by a vehicle while burning at 1,909 feet and 5 inches, fastest 200 meter cycle during full body burn at 49.55 seconds, and farthest distance full body burn on a zip wire at 201.60 feet.
