Now Niagara Falls is a safer activity, but earlier there was almost a life-threatening adventure here. The first person was retired 64-year-old female teacher Anne Ederson Taylor in 1901, with her cat, got into the closed barrel, rolled down, unharmed, jumped to fame and became the first person to fly over the waterfall. Later, many adventurers were encouraged to be foolish, some were favored by the gods of luck, and some by the gods of death. Fortunately, the Canadian government has banned the adventure game on the edge of the canyon.
