Tom Cruise's Burning Parachute Stunt Earns Guinness World Record
Tom Cruise set a new Guinness World Record while filming Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning by completing 16 parachute jumps with his chute intentionally set on fire. The stunt involved Cruise jumping from a helicopter with a fuel-soaked parachute that was ignited mid-air. After each flaming descent, he detached the burning chute and safely deployed a backup. Guinness recognized the feat as the “most burning parachute jumps by an individual.” Editor-in-chief Craig Glenday praised Cruise for his fearless commitment to authenticity, saying, “Tom doesn't just play action heroes — he is an action hero.”
