Jonathan ran over three times further than Keith Malcolm (UK) did when he originally set this record 14 years ago.
People often steer clear of fire, but one man made the decision to attempt two records that required sprinting while being set on fire.
According to Guinness World Records, French firefighter Jonathan Vero, 39, has set the world alight by achieving the longest distance full body burn run without oxygen.Wearing a protective suit, Jonathan ran 272.25 metres (893 ft) while engulfed in flames, breaking the previous record of 204.23 metres (670 ft).
In doing so, Jonathan also broke the record for the fastest full body burn 100 m sprint without oxygen, clocking in at 17 seconds, beating the previous record by 7.58 seconds.Both records were previously held by Antony Britton (UK).
The video of the unbelievable futile attempt to beat the record, which Guinness World Records released, has gone viral online.
