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.

quote:

The man later was spotted sitting next to an observation platform near the base of the falls and was taken to a hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries

Whoa. Having seen the amount of water going over the falls up close and personal, I cannot fathom how anyone survives that with no protection. This wasn't a guy in a barrel or something he and his buddies built. He just jumped in and fell. Apparently, he is only the 5th person to survive the falls with no protective measures.

The odds of surviving that fall are real slim. Does he look like Bruce Willis?

They didn't say what side he ended up sitting on.

Anyone who survives going over Niagra Falls gets to come on in and get a green card.

Some of you appear to be lacking in geographical skills. The falls are not the border between the two countries.

Not sure what you consider a border, but I can jump in the river in Canada then "float" through the falls to get out of the river in N.Y. I'd call it a border

And you’re so literal and dry you can’t even see it’s a damn joke.

The river itself is the border. People were saying "deport him" because he went over the falls. There was no indication he ever crossed into the US.

What was the joke? Perhaps I missed it or it just wasn't funny.
