You're up

My name is Ryan Looney and I am currently the holder of six Guinness World Records titles
0:11
And now the most backflips in 30 seconds while completing a full body burn
0:17
And I'm going to talk you through the video of me doing the record attempt
0:23
I was freezing. I am wearing a couple of layers underneath that that are soaked in a gel and put in a fridge for
0:30
24 hours so it helped protect me from the fire but at the same time I was I was extremely cold
0:36
coming in here is John Mulvey from Hank Stunts he is the great stunt coordinator who kept me safe
0:42
throughout this so that's me of course on fire essentially at this point all I'm concentrating
0:47
on is moving getting the backflip done straight on to the next one so we're seven seconds in
0:53
and I've done two backflips so far so I'm on good track to beat the previous record
0:58
As you can see I'm on fire and I need to move quickly. I need to keep moving. The oxygen's
1:05
burning up around me. If I don't keep moving I could find it very difficult to breathe and find
1:10
the heat a bit too overwhelming See there are parts that are actually falling off what I wearing and burning in the middle of the mat there And you can see if I pause it quickly that the back of my sweats that I was wearing at
1:26
the time are actually falling apart. At this point I was sort of thinking you know what I'll keep going
1:36
John shouted down down down. Those are them that I actually, luckily, didn't have any major injuries
1:51
My successful record total was seven backflips in 30 seconds while engaging in a full body burn
1:58
I did this record. I was like, oh my goodness, there's a whole other world here that I hadn't even considered
2:03
and there's so many records for full body burns that I didn't even think I could even have a chance at even touching
2:10
So now that I've done this record, I've kind of got the buggy in and I'm kind of thinking, I could do more
2:17
Not that bothered if someone breaks it. In fact, I would actually really like if someone went and tried it
2:22
because it was really difficult for me and the whole point of records is that they're going to be broken
2:26
It shows that we're ready to push the boundaries. It's incredible what humans can achieve
