So this man yesterday, still unidentified, became the third person ever to go over Niagara Falls without any protection and not die. This is crazy shit. If you've ever been to Niagara Falls you know that there are two different falls, the American Falls and the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Each of these falls is about 200 feet high and the water below them is 200 feet deep, and they both have sharp, jagged rocks sitting there before the falls hits the water. Well this stupid Canadian decided to hop on over the fence into the Niagara River and then go over the falls. The force of the water was so great that it took his clothes off. And this is in the winter time so the water isn't going nearly as fast as it would during the summer. He obviously was trying to end his own life by jumping in the river and going over the falls, but it backfired. Here are some of my own pictures of the falls so you can see the rocks. Not to mention there is still ice in the river so it's not more than 30 degrees. And you can read the story in the Buffalo News here.
Here's a pic of the Horseshoe Falls, where the man went over.
The American Falls, much worse.
