In today’s Olympics fail of the day, London mayor Boris Johnson was set to make a dramatic entrance on a zipline across Victoria Park but got stuck after losing momentum along the way. He could be heard shouting, “Can you get me a rope? Get me a rope, okay?” in a video posted by ITV News. Luckily, it was only a few minutes of dangling above a crowd that was taking photos of the mayor before the park staff safely pulled him down.
