Canadian stuntwoman sets record for world’s fastest toilet



To qualify for cheap car insurance, a motorist should display a history of safe driving and always stick to the speed limit.

However, one driver was flushed with pride after breaking the land speed record – for motorised toilets. Jolene Van Vugt drove the appliance around Sydney’s Olympic Park at 75km/h (46mph), beating the previous record by 7km/h.

The 31-year-old Canadian thrill-seeker already holds a couple of world records – like being the first woman to back-flip a full-sized dirt bike.

When interviewed by journalists, she said, “I've broken Guinness World Records before but I never thought I'd be the fastest toilet rider in the world.

“I flew into Australia yesterday and came out here to jump straight on the toilet. That was so fun and I'm stoked to get the record.”

The stuntwoman was using this event to raise awareness for her impending Australian tour with Nitro Circus, a group of daredevils who perform various insane stunts on dirt bikes. Here’s hoping they do not leave skid marks all over the place...
