21 Set themselves on Fire for Guinness World Record [Video]
A group of 21 people lit themselves on fire to set a new world record. The burners gathered on Saturday in the parking lot of a local restaurant as a roaring crowd counted down.
The 32-second stunt ended with a stop, drop and roll into the Guinness World Records for “most people performing full body burns.” Watch video under:
Cleveland printing company Hotcards staged the spectacle as a fiery fundraiser on the banks of the Cuyahoga River, a waterway once so polluted it famously caught fire in 1969.
Stuntman Ted Batchelor coordinated a 55-person team of “burners” and “igniters” over two months of training. The burners wore fireproof gel suits under layers of cotton and wool that served as the fuel for the blaze.
Local CEOs, politicians, a funeral director, minister and radio DJ filled out the crew of flaming participants.
