TOM CRUISE BREAKS GUINNESS WORLD RECORD FOR “MOST BURNING PARACHUTE JUMPS”

If anyone was going to hold a record for Most Burning Parachute Jumps, it makes sense that it’s Tom Cruise.

During the filming of Mission: Impossible-The Final Reckoning, Tom made 16 jumps out of a helicopter with a parachute soaked in fuel and lit on fire. Guinness reported that no other stuntman has even come close to that amount of jumps.

Guinness’ Editor-in-Chief says, quote, “Tom doesn’t just play action heroes, he is an action hero!  A large part of his success can be chalked up to his absolute focus on authenticity and pushing the boundaries of what a leading man can do.”
