No exception
Unfortunately, these two people were no exception. Many more lost their lives at Niagara Falls. For this reason, it is quite remarkable that the operation did not recover more bodies under the water. After all, there are many who — unconsciously or not — have fallen into the waterfall over the years. Today, experts estimate that about 40 people die this way every year.
Many of the deceased are the result of a successful suicide attempt. However, the number of accidents that take place here has certainly contributed to the death toll at Niagara Falls. In addition to these fatal accidents, there are also thrill chasers that go after dangerous situations themselves. They try to survive a dive into the falls – unfortunately only a handful have actually succeeded.
