The Dare Devils Of The Niagara Falls

The Niagara falls are one of the world largest waterfalls which makes it a playground for many dare devils. Thousands of Tourists visit the falls on their Canada Holidays. Many men have died meddling with the terrifyingly high falls (53m) Many dare devils dream of having the courage to throw themselves over the edge of the massive falls. The thought of being flung over the falls is just unbearable to most but a few revolutionaries have taken the plunge and survived the Death defying free fall.

the most famous of all the dare devils was Mrs Annie Taylor the first survivor of the falls, she was a school teacher who wanted a new life of fame and fortune and the only way she could imagine doing it was by throwing herself over the edge of the monstrous horse shoe falls ( These are the larger of the Fall located in Canada you may find excursions on Toronto Holidays). At the Old age of 65 she climbed into a wooden barrel with her pet black cat and was rowed out into the Niagara river and let loose, 17 minutes later she was flung over the lip of the giant falls plunging towards her certain death. When the wooden Barrel which hardness Annie Appeared on the water’s surface at the bottom of the falls in one piece screams of excitement shrouded in the air, the barrel was then dragged ashore to find Old Annie well and alive! She was very dazed and confused ad probably felt concussed.

An English man Charles Stephen attempted the same life threatening stunt but died because he fell out of the bottom of the barrel and landed in the rocks at the bottom, only his arm was ever found.

if a visit to the falls doesn’t take your fancy don’t give up hope on Canada as the country is so diverse and has lots to offer likeCanada Rail Tours Throughout the scenic landscapes and into the secluded ski resorts and hiking towns such as whistler.
