21 people set themselves on fire in Cleveland to set the Guinness World Record for “most people performing full body burns.”
The 21 burners gathered in the parking lot of a local restaurant on the banks of the Cuyahoga River , clad in fireproof gel suit under layers of cotton and wool to set the record, the New York Daily News reported.
The 32-second stunt, which featured the burners marching back and forth across the lot with their arms extended like blazing airplanes, ended with a stop, drop and roll.
Cleveland printing company, Hotcards, staged the spectacle to spark interest in the city’s resurgence and raise money for the Cleveland Foodbank and Brick by Brick.
The 21-person burner team, which record eclipses the previous record of 17 people, consisted of local CEOs, politicians, a funeral director, minister and radio DJ. (ANI)
