Sailendra Nath Roy, the police man entered the Guinness record books in 2011 after traveling the farthest recorded distance on a zip line using his hair.

Once again he attempted to cross the Teesta river via ponytail and zip line, in front of hundreds of onlookers in West Bengal. But Roy became stuck just shy of halfway through the 600-foot journey, on 29 april 2013. Unfortunately his hair got stuck in the line’s wheeler, within 45 minutes he was dead. Though Roy wore a life jacket, he apparently didn’t arrange for emergency aid. He was desperately trying to move forward. He was trying to scream out some instruction. But no one could follow what he was saying.

spectators, unaware of what was happening, continued to clap as he struggled. He eventually lost consciousness and died of a massive heart attack. Atlast rescuers were able to remove him from the line after about 45 minutes.

In 2008, he pulled the nearly 39-ton Darjeeling toy train using his ponytail.
