In an extraordinary display of courage, endurance, and precision, French stunt performer Jonathan Vero, famously known as @joe.ignition, has achieved a blazing new Guinness World Record — completing 50 consecutive full-body burn jumping jacks while completely engulfed in flames.
The record-breaking performance took place at a controlled stunt training facility in southern France, under strict safety supervision by a team of pyrotechnic experts and medical professionals. Wearing a custom fire-resistant suit and safety gel, Jonathan executed 50 flawless jumping jacks without a single pause or extinguishment of the flames — setting a new benchmark for human endurance and stunt performance.
Guinness World Records officials confirmed the achievement after meticulous review of video footage, safety data, and timing. The entire routine lasted nearly 90 seconds, during which Jonathan remained calm and in rhythm despite being completely on fire.
Speaking after the attempt, Jonathan said:
“Fire is something I deeply respect — it’s not about fighting it, but understanding it. Every second of that record was a balance between control, focus, and trust in my team.”
Jonathan Vero, also known by his stunt name Joe Ignition, is no stranger to high-risk records. He has previously performed full-body fire runs, fire stunts for film productions, and endurance challenges that have earned him global recognition among professional stunt artists.
Fire safety experts praised the stunt’s execution and safety protocol, calling it “a masterclass in preparation and controlled risk.”
Guinness World Records officials congratulated Vero, noting that his achievement “combines physical endurance, mental toughness, and professional stunt mastery in a way few can replicate.”
The feat has since gone viral across social media platforms, with millions viewing the dramatic footage of the flaming jumping jacks. Fans and fellow stunt performers around the world have hailed the record as one of the most visually intense and disciplined acts ever captured.
