Tragic moments in Pottahawk history #6

Canada's darling Mary-Lou McTaggert, who had set previous Guinness world records for, skipping rope, playing hopscotch and Largest Gumball insertion, decided to use the 1932 Pottahawk as a platform for her newest record assault- Longest time spent sitting on an over sized horseshoe suspended 100 feet above water.

The previous record was held by Norwegian Squeaky Squibbledebop at 7 days, 2 hours, 14 minutes, 21 seconds.

Unfortunate for Mary Lou, the rope holding the apparatus was not constructed from the most durable material. Her weight added to that of the horseshoe, had her tumbling toward her demise after only four seconds into her attempt.
