Anonymous Coward User ID: 972887 Australia 05/22/2012 01:04 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Man survives Niagara Falls plunge A MAN has plunged at least 54m over Niagara Falls and survived - only the third person known to have gone over without a safety device and live. Niagara Parks Police say witnesses reported seeing the man climb over a railing and "deliberately jump" into the Niagara River up to 9m above the Horseshoe Falls. He surfaced in the lower Niagara River basin near the Journey Behind the Falls observation platform. Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side of the river, is the tallest of the three main falls, higher than the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls... [ link to www.news.com.au] |

I was there in November last year...
The vibration of the falls tingles your eardrums, makes the ears damp.
I think the pounding of the falling water alone would be enough to knock you out, not to mention the huge jagged rocks below.
If he had ridden the current and gone directly over the ledge of the falls, he wouldn't be alive. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16438941 I wouldn't call it a failure at all.. Or at least I wouldn't call it a failure to the face of the people who've attempted to survive the fall in the past, cuz they'd beat the fucking shit out of you... once they got out of a 2 month-long full-body cast hospital stint. |

I think it is because Niagara is the New Jerusalem. The man will probably be converted to the new calendar system now.
See God works in mysterious ways. |
