Nathan Jones rose upon the world strongman scene in 1995 and showed
promise to become perhaps the top competitor in the world. At 6' 11" and
360 lbs., the giant Australian known as Megaman was an imposing sight
and used his great size and strength to place high in the World
Musclepower Championships.
Unfortunately, tragedy struck Megaman
in a qualifying heat for the 1995 World's Strongest Man Competition when
he suffered a spiral fracture in his arm while arm wrestling European
Champion and 1998 World's Strongest Man, Magnus Samuelsson of Sweden.
Certainly a shame, as Nathan's career was only beginning and looking
very bright.
