Man survives plunge over Niagara Falls


http://www.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/americas/03/11/niagara.plunge/index.html?iref=mpstoryview 

A man jumped off of Niagara Falls and survived it! He wasn't even protected! 

Would you jump off a waterfall??

wow thats insane. I was just there this summer, and remember only some kid in like the 1960's survived it with just a life jacket and theres been numerous failed attempts until it was banned. The water's absolutely freezing too.  The drop is 173 feet, I wouldn't do that.  I would jump a smaller waterfall like this one in Kaua'i is pretty sweet.

He was trying to Kill himself, so 'risking his life,' wasn't really on his mind.

i dont see the point in jumping off waterfalls....base jumping with a wing suit looks way more fun..

that would be so cool to say you've survived that, but then again who would really try it? it's kinda like climbing mount everest...alot of people don't survive, but there are still some who get to tell the story of how they did. that would be cool.

i wonder what drove him to jump? if he was just looking for a thrill then he could have gone skydiving or something, there is less of a chance of you dying
