Photos: Indian stuntman dies during world record bid to cross river on a zip-wire
Stuntman Sailendra Nath Roy, pictured on the slide before he died
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.
