Accident Or Not?
It’s been reported that there are approximately 40 deaths at Niagara Falls every year. Most are accidents but not all. Plus, you also get some daredevils that take the plunge in an attempt to perform a stunt. But not all have succeeded in pulling it off.
Extreme Adventurers
Annie Edson Taylor, a 63-year-old teacher was among these brave adventurers. In 1901 she climbed into a wooden barrel, took the plunge, and miraculously survived. In 1984, stuntman Karel Soucek followed in her footsteps and survived the jump off the Falls in a barrel.
