The history of the Guinness Book of Records contains a wide variety of achievements of human endurance, ingenuity and stupidity.
There are records made unconsciously. For example, moving with the help of a tornado. Almost like in the fairy tale about the girl Ellie.
To date, Matt Suter of Missouri is the only person to have traveled nearly 400 meters in a tornado overnight and survived.
The record was set for the longest distance traveled inside a tornado.
To be precise, Matt spent 398 meters inside the elements.
How long it took for this to happen, no one knows, because the record holder was unconscious at this unusual moment.
This story happened to him on March 12, 2006.
At that time, the record holder was 19 years old.
The tornado caught the young man while he was in a mobile home.
The American lost consciousness and woke up in an open field, having received minor injuries during the flight.
