Second Bridgend Man in Kumba Crisis. Mystery Roller Coaster Disappearance!
A special report from a North American Staff Reporter
Almost exactly a year ago, special correspondent Alun Tudor Jones, 51, brought us news of the miraculous death cheat of Ian Tiberius Williams, 35, rugby player (retired) of Bridgend. Loyal readers will remember that Ian narrowly escaped death when he was hurled from his seat when riding the 'Mighty Kumba' at a famous tourist attraction in Florida.
Fearless
Now, the man who fearlessly brought us that story is in the centre of his own mystery. Whilst on holiday with his family, Jones debated with his son, Matthew, whether they should sample the Park's free beer, or ride the 'Mighty Kumba'.
Toss
They decided that the matter would be resolved by the spin of a coin. It was the worst gamble that the amateur journalist had ever made. Matthew won the toss and both men entered the giant roller coaster.
Shoe
Three minutes later the ride was over, but Alun Jones had disappeard. All that was left in his seat was a BASSfinder Walking Shoe, a particularly favourite brand in South Wales.
Unusual
