Dangling Daredevil Beats Houdini’s Record

A British escape artist said he was dangling from a helicopter in Canada when he beat Harry Houdini’s record for escaping from a straightjacket by 45 seconds on Wednesday. Rob Roy Collins said he was suspended from a chopper more than 100 feet high in the Niagara Falls region when he wiggled out of a straightjacket in 1 minute, 22 seconds, beating Houdini’s record of 2 minutes, 37 seconds. “There was a scary moment when the straitjacket was stuck around my neck and I thought there was a chance I couldn’t get out,” Collins said. “Fortunately I managed to keep my cool and release myself.”
