INI adalah atraksi hebat dan menegangkan penonton yang berubah menjadi tragedi ketika pemegang Rekor Dunia Guinness meninggal di tengah-tengah sebuah aksi.
Pemecah rekor asal India, Sailendra Nath Roy berusaha untuk menyeberangi sungai Teesta di Bengal Barat, dengan kuncir ramburnya dan mendadak harus terhenti karena menderita serangan jantung.
Roy, yang bekerja sebagai sopir polisi, muncul untuk menyeberang sejauh 180 meter dan mendadak berhenti di tengah atraksinya.
Polisi harus bekerja keras selama 45 menit untuk menurunkannya dari kawat.
Dokter kemudian mengungkapkan ia mengalami "serangan jantung" ketika mencoba aksi tersebut
Fotografer Balai Sutradhar, yang memiliki ratusan foto pemecahan rekor mengatakan: "Dia mati-matian berusaha untuk bergerak maju. Dia mencoba berteriak untuk memberi instruksi. Tapi tidak ada yang mengerti apa yang dia katakan."
"Setelah berjuang selama 30 menit ia pun terdiam."
Roy tiba lebih awal pada Minggu pagi dan membuat bentangan kawat dengan kawan-kawannya tapi polisi mengatakan tidak pernah memberi izin atraksi tersebut.
Dia mengenakan jaket pelampung tetapi tidak ada dokter atau layanan darurat di tempat.
Pada 2008, Roy menarik kereta dengan ekor kuda dan pada 2007 ia terbang dari satu gedung ke gedung lainnya hanya mengandalkan rambutnya.
THIS is the moment a huge spectator event turned to tragedy as a Guinness World Record holder died midway through a stunt.
Indian record breaker Sailendra Nath Roy was attempting to cross the Teesta river in West Bengal while only being suspended by his ponytail when he suffered a massive heart attack.
Mr Roy, who worked as a driver for the police, appeared to make it halfway across the 180 metre crossing when he suddenly stopped.
It then took local police 45 minutes to get him down from the wire.
Doctors later revealed he had suffered a “massive heart attack” while attempting the stunt.
Photographer Balai Sutradhar, who turned up with hundreds to witness the record attempt, said: “He was desperately trying to move forward. He was trying to scream out some instruction. But no one could follow what he was saying.
“After struggling for 30 minutes he became still.”
Mr Roy arrived early on Sunday morning and set up the zip wire with friends but police say he had not obtained permission from them.
He was wearing a life jacket but there were no doctors or emergency services on the spot.
In 2008 Mr Roy pulled a train with his ponytail and in 2007 he flew from one building to another attached by his hair.
