Holy crap

Pure balls.

"An American man faced charges after becoming the first
adult to survive a plunge over Niagara Falls without using safety
equipment, astounding witnesses to the feat. The man, who has not been
named, floated by tourists standing at the top of Niagara, in Canadian
territory, before going over the 52.4-metre-high (173-foot-high) falls.
He was reported to have swam to a rock at the bottom of the gorge, on
the US side of the border, where he was found by emergency crews. The
man was led away with a white towel over his head and was admitted to
Greater Niagara General Hospital. Reports said he suffered no serious
injuries. Witnesses told local media of their amazement as they watched
the man, who appeared to be in his 20s, head over the horseshoe-shaped
falls near Table Rock just after midday on Monday. "We thought we were
witnessing a man's death," said Terry McMullen, a car parts salesman
from Ohio, who watched with his wife, Brenda. "He glided right by us on
his back with his arms in the air as though he was taking a leisurely
swim. He went over the falls without a sound," McMullen told the
Buffalo News daily. If the witness accounts are confirmed, the man will
be the first adult to survive a Niagara fall without safety protection
of any kind."
