Performer at State Fair injured during stunt

A man performing the act the "Human Speed Bump" was injured after being run over by a car during his act at the Arizona State Fair around 6:20 p.m. according to the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Tom Owen was scheduled to be run over by eight cars weighing up to 30,000 pounds according to the Arizona State Fair attractions listings.

Owen holds the Guinness World Record for being run over by seven cars and was attempting to break that record Friday.

As the last vehicle, a box truck, passed over him the stunt equipment failed injuring his lower body and extremities said DPS.

Owen was taken to a nearby hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

Despite the equipment failure DPS officials say that the man did set a new world record.

Owen, who is known for feats such as picking up six people and pulling box cars with his teeth, has had over 1,000 vehicles run over him throughout his career according to his Web site.

Owen has previously used his stunts to raise money for youth homes.

Wasn't that dude from Montgomery and operate King's Ranch in Wetumpka? I didn't notice the name until I read where he gave the money to youth homes. Damn, he has been at that shit a long time. I think I watched him at my church 20 years ago doing the same thing...
