I’m waiting for someone to do the American side in a Zorb or something like that. That would take some balls. Well, one giant one.

Humanity will be dead and buried and the water will still be falling.

I’m guessing he wanted to relive the glory? Someone should of explained the odds to him.

Much shorter drop, much more bouncing. IIRC, the Canadian side is still full of rocks, you just can’t see them.

On the contrary, beneath the Horseshoe falls is a 100 foot deep plunge pool. There may be a stray rock if you happen to go over in just the wrong spot, but mostly it’s clear sailing, which is why just about every daredevil attempt has been on the Horseshoe. The American side on the other hand is filled with jagged boulders ranging from the size of a shed to the size of a house. Most of those rocks would puncture a Zorb easily, especially with the 100 foot fall onto them.
