Drive Through
Hollywood stuntman Rocky Taylor breaks a Guinness world record in London on Sept. 13 by jumping a speeding BMW through the largest sheet of breakaway glass ever smashed by a car. The feat marked ‘Remember a Charity’ week, aimed at convincing more people to leave things to charity organizations in their will. Working with the charity behind the campaign, the 64-year-old stuntman has performed a series of live stunts since August, including a re-enactment of the stunt from the 1985 action film “Death Wish 3” that nearly killed him. During the filming, the exploding building he was supposed to jump from blew up too early, causing Taylor to fall and break his back.
