Tom Cruise Pilots Flaming Parachute Stunt to Break World Record
Tom Cruise's extraordinary act claims Guinness World Record - Incredible World Record Achievement Approaching for Tom Cruise
Let's take a look at that daredevil, Tom Cruise! During the filming of "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning," Tom set himself on fire—much like a human torch—and claimed the Guinness World Record for the "most burning parachute jumps by an individual."
To achieve this breathtaking feat, Tom jumped from a helicopter soaring high above 7,500 feet. As he plummeted towards Earth, he released a parachute that had been doused in fuel and ignited. You could have sworn you saw a comet streaking across the sky. Alas, it was just Tom with a flaming parachute! The fiery 'chute burned bright for approximately 2.5 to 3 seconds before Tom daringly cut away and deployed his backup parachute, saving the day and his skin!
Here's where it gets even more thrilling: this electrifying stunt wasn't a one-time thing. Tom had to perform this life-threatening trick an astounding 16 times to finally lock down his world record status[1][2]3. If that doesn’t embody enthusiasm and determination, I don't know what does!
