Man survives plunge over Niagara Falls waterfall

Niagara Falls Park Police say a man was "swept over" a waterfall, but survived the drop of roughly 188ft (57 metres) into the raging river below.

The man "was observed to climb over retaining wall" around 04:00 (09:00 GMT) on Tuesday before falling over the cliff, police said on Twitter.

After searching beneath the falls, police found the man "sitting on rocks" with non-life threatening injuries.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

According to Buffalo News, an estimated 25 people kill themselves by going over the falls each year.

Wow, I had no idea this method of suicide was so "popular".

The guy could have had  the decency to do it while the wife and I were visiting NFs in May.
