\u0022When you want to break this kind of record, you have to accept the dangers.\u0022
That passion began when he was still a child. As young as 6, Vero said, he was stealing matches and lighters from his grandparents and igniting his toy cars and planes in their garden. He would study the way the fire danced and changed colors as his toys melted into blobs.
“I saw the dark side of the fire, with destruction, with burned bodies,” Vero said. “It was really difficult for me to accept this.”In 2019, Vero’s grandmother Agnes died at 89. As he grieved, Vero said, he found a new outlet, one that reminded him of playing with flames as a child: fire stunts. He visited Austria to meet a stuntman from the Matrix series and was introduced to a gel that, while flammable, can protect people’s skin during stunts.
But he wanted to showcase more of his skills. As he scrolled through the list of Guinness World Records last year, he said, he saw there were two flame-running records. He immediately wanted to beat them. On Sept. 10, Vero arrived at the track and sketched out his path on a whiteboard in front of his colleagues. He jogged around the track in black sweats to warm up.Article content
