The man -- who Niagara Parks Police say appeared to be "in crisis" before jumping into the river on the Canadian side -- was observed going over the Horseshoe Falls around 4 a.m. Tuesday morning. He then fell around 167 feet before hitting the water below.

 

His plunge Tuesday comes 59 years to the day that 7-year-old Roger Woodward went over the falls with a life jacket, and also survived.

If I’m not mistaken, 4 a.m. is also during the hours higher diversion of water is allowed to the power projects on both sides of the river.  Less water going over the falls, I wonder what effect it had on the trip and the landing, if any.

Knew this would happen when Canada legalized wacky weed.

 

To get more income they should have a jump plank and charge to use it and refundable deposit for fishing you out.

Thats the easy side. ?

 

Right.  I have not heard of anyone going over the American side, though I'm not sure I'd want to.  That would be a mess.

It's the American Side that is the worse... One has a fighting chance on the Canadian Side.

Same here.  The talus  on the American side is the problem.  One may get lucky going over Horseshoe Falls and find a gap and not hit rock.

I would think less water would be worse. More exposed rock below. ???

 

Maybe it's the opposite.
