Number 5 – Salindrea Nath Roy.
Sailendra Nath Roy was an Indian stuntman who held two bizarre Guinness World Records,
both involving his hair.
He managed to pull a locomotive with his pony tail for 8.2 feet, and he also rode a zip
line 270.6 feet by using his hair.
On April 28, 2013, Roy was attempting to break his own zip line record on a 595.5 feet line
however at about 300 feet into the stunt, his hair became stuck for 30 minutes, after
which he stopped moving.
After hanging for 45 minutes, he was finally taken down.
Roy had a massive heart attack and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital.
Number 4 – Javad Palizbanian.
44-year-old Iranian, Javad Palizbanian, who was trying to break the record of the longest
distance jumped, and also for most buses jumped over which was set by Bubba Blackwell who
broke the record by jumping over 15 buses in 1999.
Javad was ready to jump over 22 buses parked next to each other.
The distance would have been about 209 feet.
While being broadcast on live television from the Azadi Sports stadium in Tehran, on August
28, 2005, Palizbanian said “I am going to do something for my country to be proud of.”
He then slammed into the 13th bus and died on impact.
Number 3 – Audrey Mestre.
Audrey Mestre was a French woman who came from a family of scuba divers and snorkelers.
She had spent most of her life underwater and certainly didn't lack experience.
She trusted her abilities, and therefore in 2002, had the confidence to dive 561 feet
in the deep waters 81 miles east of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
When she blacked out at 300 feet with an empty air tank, she was rushed back to the surface.
After spending nine minutes under water without oxygen, there was nothing that could be done
to save her.
Number 2 – Bill Warner.
44-year old, Bill Warner, was a tropical fish farmer from Wimauma, Florida, and he held
the world land speed record on a conventional motorcycle at 1.5 miles, which was 311MPH.
Warner came to the 2013 Loring Timing Association’s Land Speed Races to break the land speed record
on a conventional motorcycle at a 1 mile distance.
On July 13, Warner accomplished that record, hitting a speed of 296 MPH.
The next day he tried to break his own brand-new record by reaching 300 MPH but after hitting
285 MPH he lost control of his bike, veered to the right, and slid for 100 feet.
He was conscious and talking when he was taken to the hospital, where he died an hour later.
Number 1 – Jessica Dubroff.
Jessica Dubroff was a 7-year-old pilot trainee who, at the behest of her father, attempted
to become the youngest person to pilot a plane across the United States.
Since she was too young to officially hold a pilot’s license, a rated pilot had to
be at the controls at all time while Dubroff flew the plane.
On April 10, 1996, Dubroff, her flight instructor Joe Reid, and her father Lloyd Dubroff, took
off in Reid’s Cessna 177B from Half Moon Bay, California.
Their ultimate goal was to reach Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
After 24 hours they landed in Cheyenne, Wyoming, for a rest.
The next morning, the trio tried to take off in bad weather.
The plane flipped and veered to the right, landing on a residential street and killing
all three passengers.
An investigation into the crash showed that Reid was in control of the plane when it crashed.
