Daredevil

The Resume

    (1962-June 5, 1990)
    'Niagara Falls Plunge (June 5, 1990)'
    Niagara Falls, New York Daredevil
    Appeared in an IMAX feature

Why he might be annoying:

    He risked his life and succeeded in losing it over a stunt.
    He was featured on 'Ripley's Believe It or Not.'
    He wore no helmet or other protective gear.
    He felt a helmet would hide his face on video, making vanity more important to him than safety.
    He felt a safety vest would hamper his escape if trapped under water.
    His last name sure doesn't reflect on his foolish act.
    His body was never recovered.
    He was an unemployed bachelor.
    His next plan was to kayak the Great Gorge Rapids through the Whirlpool to the Queenston docks.
    He presumptuously made dinner reservations in Queenston for a celebration after the Great Gorge Rapids trip he never made it to.
    He not only braved the Falls, but he did so at night.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He went over in a kayak instead of a barrel or ball.
    He had hoped to make a career in being a stunt man.
    He planned his trip for three years.
    He brought along his own film crew.
