The subject line doesn't refer to the world's longest anagram.
The story first:
Sailendra Nath Roy, holder of the Guinness world record for the longest
trip by a zip wire attached to one's hair, tried for another record
recently. The task he set himself was to cross India's Teesta River
on a 180-metre-long zip wire attached to his ponytail.
Roy's progress halted at about the halfway point. As photographer
Balai Sutradhar tells it: '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 about 45 minutes of hanging at 20 metres
above the river while hundreds of witnesses looked on, Roy stopped
moving; a heart attack had claimed his life.
There were no physicians on hand for the record attempt, which was
performed without permission.
Sailendra Nath Roy dies in bridge-crossing stunt =
Intent's 'Guinness-record bad hair day' listings, or ...?
Another option:
Sailendra Nath Roy's dead in bridge-crossing stunt =
Guinness doesn't grant 'bad hair day' records in list!

Thanks for the feedback, and to you too, Horrid.

I think I like this one best. It just seems to flow nicely and
maintain a useful simplicity.
