Family Stunned After Man Takes Niagara Falls Plunge and Lives

I have always enjoyed the fascination that humans have with surviving plummeting over the top of the Niagra Falls. This man is damned lucky to be walking around and most assuredly should not be fined for doing so. Why even impose a fine, since only two people have survived without the use of a protective measure? Who do they fine?

I know that several have died even when they have utilized protective measures (one of which survived plunging over the falls only to suffocate in his air-tight barrel).

The best part of the story is a witness' account of the event, "We thought we were witnessing a man's death," Terry McMullen of Ashtabula, Ohio, told The Buffalo News. "He glided right by us on his back with his arms in the air as though he was taking a leisurely swim. He went over the falls without a sound."
