Happy Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 https://www.foxnews.com/world/man-survives-niagara-falls-plunge 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.

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 59 years to the day that 7 year-old Roger Woodward became the first person to survive a vessel-less plunge over the Falls.

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.

ExiledInIllinois Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 It's the American Side that is the worse... One has a fighting chance on the Canadian Side. 2 hours ago, Happy Gilmore said: Right.

One may get lucky going over Horseshoe Falls and find a gap and not hit rock. 4 hours ago, Ridgewaycynic2013 said: 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.

Maybe it's the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aruba,under Dutch law had one on the northwest side of the island..family invited.Establishments around the island donate meat to the tip...keeping the sharks away from the southern side ,where the resorts are.
