Lee Redmond's Record-Length Fingernails Broken In Crash



SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah woman listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for her long fingernails has lost them in a car crash. Lee Redmond of Salt Lake City sustained serious but non-life-threatening injuries in the accident Tuesday.

Redmond's nails, which hadn't been cut since 1979, were broken in the crash. According to the Guinness Web site, her nails measured a total of more than 28 feet long in 2008, with the longest nail on her right thumb at 2 feet, 11 inches.

Salt Lake County Sheriff's Lt. Don Hutson says Redmond was ejected from an SUV in the crash and taken to the hospital in serious condition.

Redmond has been featured on TV in episodes of "Guinness Book of World Records" and "Ripley's Believe It or Not."



With fingernails that long how could you do anything?  It looks like it would be difficult even wiping after going to the bathroom.  eww.

Still I can't imagine that she could do anything like cook or type.

wELL, SHE'LL be  in Guinnesses forever now as having the longest fingernails ever broken off in a non fatal auto collision. There has to be something more stupid than that, but damned if I can think of it.
