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."

Can you imagine the first guy on scene? "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?"

 

[daw840]

I wonder how much she will be suing the insurance company for. Assuming the other car was at fault.

 

[MisterHero]

Her legacy has lost its polish

 

[DoomGyver]

These people who grow these nails must have no responsibilities whatsoever. How could you do any daily task with those things? How the fuck does she wipe her ass? Wash her hands?

How does she drive?

 

[adelante]

Nailed it.

Nailed it.

How does she drive?

If the article was any indication, she doesn't.

If the article was any indication, she doesn't.

That's pretty sexist, dude.

 

[Hitokage]

That's pretty sexist, dude.

Even in this situation you manage to live up to your tag.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

What a wasted life.

 

[Tntnnbltn]

What's she going to do now? Grow them again or have functional fingers for a change instead?

No.. I think this crash.... was the nail in the coffin... YEAHHHHHHHH!

[Marvie_3]

Those things are fuckin gross. I'm glad they broke....

 

[R0nn]

What the hell would compel someone to grow such long ass nails? Seriously.

 

[joetachi]

So she broke her record.

 

[Kitsuné]

That picture scares me.

What's she going to do now?

Make her own lunch.

 

[Darko]

[shintoki]

This should be NSWF, I'm going have nightmares now over those fingernails. I hate long fingernails *cries*

 

[braimuge]

TOO BAD YOU....WILL DIE....

 

[baphometbones]

Ugh, good riddance. I saw this woman on Ripley's Believe It Or Not once and she was psycho about those nasty things. She talked about how devastating it would be to lose them, almost sounding suicidal at the thought.

 

[xBerserker]

Can you imagine the first guy on scene? "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?"

:lol That would be a huge shock. I want a photo of the broken fingernails now.

I met this lady a few years ago. She was ahead of me in the checkout line at a sporting goods store. She said that the fingernails were actually pretty painful at times because of the pressure they would put on the tips of her fingers due to the weight. She has to sleep sitting up, and she said she turned down a $30,000 offer to clip them by the person that was second to her in the record book. Well, I'm willing to bet that she wishes she had taken the money now...

Oh, the humanity!

millions. And I'd love to be the insurance clerk writing out in my best handwriting.

f-u-c-k o-f-f

 

[VGChampion]

In the video she said she was going to cut them Nov. 22nd. Guess she decided against that.

 

[AzerPhire]

It sounds like she wasn't wearing a seat belt as she was ejected from the car. Don't think she would be getting any money out of this crash if that were the case.

 

[Relix]

At least now she will properly be able to clean off the stinking smell that comes from her ass
