Man survives plunge over Niagara Falls

[Still Waters 37,139]

High water levels may have helped save the life of a Canadian man who plummeted over Niagara Falls' Horseshoe Falls early Tuesday morning.

The man, whom police described as "in crisis" when he jumped into the Niagara River, is the fifth person since 1960 to survive a trip over the 188-foot-high falls without being inside a barrel or ball.

The high water levels may have tossed him over the rocks at the bottom of the falls,” said Michael Clarkson, author of “The River of Lost Souls: What We Might Learn From Niagara Falls Suicides.”
