The Great Omani on Fire! Hard to Believe!

Don't be fooled by the start of this clip. This ageing escape-artist wants to shine once more. Hand-cuffed, in a wheelchair after a stroke, he's set on fire! But, gradually, an uncomforting sensation takes hold. Is this really a good idea? After all, he is 92 and not as quick as he used to be...
Ron Cunningham, The Great Omani, escapologist and stuntman, was born on July 10, 1915. He died on October 15, 2007, aged 92

I heard they tried to cremate him, but couldn't keep him in the furnace

This fine Gentleman was one of the worlds greatest escape ologists, thank you for posting this vid, to some it may seem a failure, but I think his spirit is unbelieveable not to mention he got the hand shackles off, I hope I am that determined when I'm 92. He passed away weeks after this stunt, he did what he loved to the very end. God Bless you Omani!

They lay the Great Omani in his box / They have done it up with nails not locks / But at his funeral do not despair / Chances are he won't be there

the above poem was read out at his funeral. RIP.
