Can't wait to see what happens to the guy that tries to beat this record

Pittsburgh volunteer paramedic Matthew McKnight holds the newly-recognized Guinness record for "Greatest Distance Thrown in a Car Accident."

The 2008 Guinness World Records book honors the 29-year-old McKnight for living to tell about being thrown 118 feet after being hit by a car. McKnight was standing along a highway about 15 miles east of Pittsburgh on Oct. 26, 2001, helping victims of a car wreck when he was hit by a car doing 70 mph.

He suffered two dislocated shoulders plus a broken shoulder, pelvis, leg and tailbone. His injuries put him in the hospital for two weeks, followed by 80 days in rehab, before returning to work in April 2002.
You just know someone will try.
