London Mayor Boris Johnson was left dangling in the air on Wednesday when he got stranded on a zip wire while trying to make a dramatic entry to an Olympic party in one of London’s parks.
 
Dressed in his trademark black suit and waving two Union Jacks, he tried out the 148ft high and 1,050 ft long line at Victoria Park. At first, things seemed to go swimmingly.
 
But as he reached the end of the zip line, it rebounded before running out of momentum about 33ft above the ground. He was left dangling as onlookers happily snapped pictures. The portly mayor was heard shouting: “Get me a rope, get me a ladder.”
