If you have ever wondered what it must feel like to be dragged a long distance whilst attached to a horse at a speed of over 20 mph… oh, and whilst you happen to also be on fire; then fret not, you will never have to experience it yourself because our daredevil friend and all-round ‘Stunt-Man of Steel’ Joe Toedtling in Austria has just done it and has had minimal scrapes to tell us the tale!
Joe is well known for his extreme endurance stunts, often involving lots of fire and this time he kept to tradition by going to another level in terms of the stunt being as ‘out there’ as possible. This weekend Joe was dragged along a gravel track by what we can only imagine must have been quite the confused, yet highly trained horse… and clocking speeds of 35mph+ whilst set on fire.
Joe who is 35, is highly experienced in the art of being set on fire professionally and with the right science always in play. He has worked as an expert stuntman on some major Hollywood film productions and when fire is involved; as it was heavily this weekend, he wears several layers of clothing and a special cooling gel along with metal shin and elbow pads for stunts such as this one.
This latest stunt of Toedtling took place next to the very picturesque backdrop of Teichalm Lake in Almenland, Austria, this weekend.
Joe sent out a group email straight after having achieved one of his most ambitious stunts to date by describing the success:
“It was just Hardcore!!”
He later described the process to us:
“I was going about 35kph (21mph) which might not sound like that much but when you are being dragged along a gravel track and also on fire it certainly feels quick. I was dragged 500m by the horse, and then 582m by the quad bike. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and I am not sure they have or ever will see anything like this again!”
When asked about how the added variable of being set on fire whilst being dragged a long distance, Joe described it literally:
“It was pretty hot as I was on fire!” he joked.

Special thanks to Paul Gillingwater who coordinated the filming and also to Joe Toedtling and his entire team.
NOTE: For obvious reasons we do not advise anyone attempt to recreate this stunt or any of Joe’s previous ‘fiery’ stunts. Joe is a professional with a highly experienced team working with him. Oh, and he also has balls of steel!!!
