He's also using his superhuman abilities to help others and is an inspiration to many. The Redbull OCR Athlete and Guinness World Record holder is part of the Wings for Life family.

The Drive with Rob and Roz spoke to van Tonder about his one-of-a-kind career and why he's so passionate about Wings for Life World Run.
