At WRIS, we think all our clients are special. However, there is one client that definitely sizzles more than the rest. And by sizzles, we mean it in a very flammable way.
Ted Batchelor, a WRIS web hosting client, is the Guinness World Record Holder for "Longest Full-Body Burn with No Oxygen". You read that right – he sets himself on fire on purpose!
A former stuntman, Ted performed his first fire stunt in 1976 and has been doing them ever since for scores of admiring (and astonished) audiences.
This past weekend Ted added a new Guinness World Record title to his belt – "Most People Simultaneously Engulfed in Flames". Ted led a team of 16 volunteers who practiced for months for the culminating moment, being ablaze for 43.9 seconds. The video footage of this feat is breathtaking.
Among the flaming volunteers was Mark Simone, father of WRIS engineer Nick Simone.
Congrats to Ted, Mark and the rest of the World Record crew!
