A stuntman died yesterday during a world record attempt as he tried to
cross a river on a zip-wire attached only to his hair. Sailendra Nath
Roy, 50, was half way through the stunt when his ponytail became stuck
in the wheeler of the rope and he was left hanging in mid-air for
about 25 minutes.
Despite desperate attempts to free himself, it is believed Mr Roy then
suffered a major cardiac arrest and died. May his soul rest in
peace…amen.
