Twenty-eight-year old Norman Bigelow of Fitchburg, Mass, takes a different approach to the art of escaping. Bigelow specializes in death-defying stunts, with the emphasis on the "death." His big escapes are carefully arranged scenarios for near-suicide. He tackles the Water Torture Cell, for starters.
