I've never been to Niagra, but hope to someday...for those that have been, this might be interesting.

    Never been, naked or clothed. How did it run dry? Was it being diverted temporarily?

    yeah...looks like they were going to move the rock bed, then it was too expensive, so they strengthened the fault lines.

    they need to figure out a way for tourists to do this- you know , like bunjie jumping or sky diving, but in a barell- they would make a fortune

    seems like it shouldn't be that hard to figure out.

    i would think it would have to be double walled with some sort of impact system. you'd also need a way to try and keep the person in an upright position as they fell over the falls. and you would want some sort of secondary shock absober for the person.

    i'll build it, you test it.
