Sailendra Nath Roy (1964–2013) was an Indian man who registered his name in the Guinness Book of World Records for the farthest distance travelled on a zip wire using hair.[1] He achieved the record at Neemrana Fort Palace, Neemrana, Rajasthan, India, on 1 March 2011. Sailendra zip lined the entire 82.5 m attached to the zip wire only by his hair, which he tied in a looped ponytail. Again in September 2012, he pulled a Darjeeling Himalayan Railway locomotive with his ponytail in north Bengal for 2.5 metres (8.2 feet) in the city of Siliguri, West Bengal.[2][3]
