| Gopinath Muthukad |
The Times reported that “a handcuffed, chained man escaped in the whisker of an eye, from under 60-odd spikes that came trundling down on him like nature?s wrath.” This wasn’t the first time for the daredevil Gopinath Muthukad. He has gained fame in his native India for his risky escapes and illusions. Check out his web site. It is very well done and gives a great overview of the insane things he is willing to do. Mr. Muthukad told reporters, after he stopped panting from his narrow escape, that the escape was ?a small token of the love and appreciation that Omanis have showered on me. I must say that this is just the first part of the gift from me, but hopefully, next time, I hope to give a bigger gift to these magic-loving people of Oman.? Apparently the rope which held the spikes and a circular saw at bay was supposed to withstand burning for sixty seconds. It failed, and the spikes dropped, at just forty seconds.
