Headbalancer Shaun Jones gets banned from RHR. The Record Holders' Republic has rejected a weight-lifting attempt carried out by Shaun Jones. Because of several wholly inaccurate claims he has made, Shaun has been banned for life by the RHR, whose adjudicator Peter Dowdeswell attended the event held at Felixstowe on June 8th, 2012. As the official adjudicator, he rejected the claim for a new record. Despite this, Shaun persists in claiming a record. He knew the rules stipulate that an entrant must balance a weight on top of his head, walk away from the stand and balance the weight, without use of the hands, for ten seconds. Shaun did none of this. He lifted the weight using his hands and head, then balanced the weight on his head without walking away from the safety of the stand. Weights were attached to both ends of a bar, making the balancing so much easier.
