Jonathan Vero, a 39-year-old French firefighter, has garnered global attention for his remarkable feat of accomplishing the longest distance full body burn run without oxygen.
Clad in a protective suit, Jonathan fearlessly sprinted a staggering distance of 272.25 meters (893 feet) while entirely engulfed in flames, shattering the previous record of 204.23 meters (670 feet).
In addition to surpassing the longest distance record, Jonathan also achieved an extraordinary milestone by breaking the record for the fastest full body burn 100-meter sprint without the use of oxygen.
He clocked in an astonishing time of 17 seconds, surpassing the previous record by a remarkable 7.58 seconds.
Both of these extraordinary achievements were formerly held by Antony Britton from the United Kingdom.
However, Jonathan’s astonishing display of physical and mental endurance has earned him international acclaim and etched his name into the annals of record-breaking accomplishments.
