Daredevil

The Resume

    (1956- )
    'Niagara Falls Plunge (September 27, 1993)'
    Niagara Falls, New York Daredevil

Why he might be annoying:

    He feared water.
    He risked his life for attention.
    He was featured on 'Ripley's Believe It or Not.'
    He is listed as the first person to go over twice, although he actually only went over once.
    His second attempt, he learned to launch closer to the brink of the Falls, went over slightly, became trapped and had to be rescued.
    His fourth foolish attempt was successful.
    He was obsessed with plunging the Falls for twenty years.
    He spent way over sixteen thousand dollars creating his crafts.
    He was fined $500.00 and given two years probation, but that didn't stop him.
    He is probably planning to do it again.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He ignored his fear of water and conquered the Falls.
    He was once a skydiving instructor with 1,400 jumps on his record.
    His first attempt was thwarted when Police spotted him heading for the falls and quickly used the Hydro Control Dam to lower the water and cause him to get stuck.
    On his third attempt, his barrel was trapped above the Falls.
    He seems to have overcame his fear of water!
    He used a converted diving bell on his fourth attempt.
    He is a determined man.
