How to Survive Falling into The Niagara Falls

Jet skiing at the top of Niagara Falls wasn't your best idea. You’re already beginning to lose feeling in your body. The Niagara River rarely gets much above freezing, so hypothermia could be setting in. But that’s not your biggest problem, since you're near Horseshoe Falls, with its 57 m (188 ft) drop. The water rushes over the edge of the Falls at 109 km/h (68 mph).And it's taking you with it. Can you survive falling into Niagara Falls?

the thing is that falling you may be screaming or breathing fast. when you hit the water you are going to immediately get sucked under at least 20 to 30 meters deep. plus you have the counter current pushing you back into the water fall. You are problaly going to need at least 1 minute of breath to swim past the current and up 20 meters to the surface.

[@kenwittlief255]

I was in the US Coast Guard, stationed in Buffalo for 1 summer. If a boat in the river gets into the rapids above the falls it will most likely get hung up in the rocks and not drift all the way to the brink / crest. We rescued a 22 ft boat one night with 5 drunk fishermen, who thought they were going the other way. Their boat was caught in the rocks, and we took them off one at a time with a Canadian Parks Dept jet boat (no propeller). The operators at both dams on the falls also have the ability to open the water intakes full and purge the water thru, to reduce the flow of water over the falls. That is partly why their boat was stuck, the intakes are normally open at night, and the flow of water over the falls is greatly reduced.

over the last 100 years around 2,000 people have gone over (estimated) how many survived? 10? the odds are not good.

Fortunately this is one survival tip I'll never have to use. 😊

[@MrJohnnyHandsome]

I live in Niagara Falls, NY and it’s beautiful. However, people need to realize that the bigger waterfall, The Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side, has less rigid and massive sharp rocks at the bottom whereas Niagara Falls, the US side, is almost 100% impossible to survive due to the massive sharp and rigid rocks at the bottom. More people survived going over the Horseshoe Falls than Niagara Falls! And DUH, there are strong railings to keep you from “slipping” or falling off as long as you have a brain, it’s safe. I would highly suggest visiting both the US and Canadian side and experiencing the Cave of the Winds (only US side) that let’s you take a walk right under Niagara Falls and the Maid of the Mist (both US & Ontario, Canada) where you ride boats right up close and almost under the Horseshoe Falls & Niagara Falls. The natural whirlpool is also phenomenal! You can go over it on a cabled trolley from the Canadian side only and it’s so worth it!

[@herbertlewis8442]

I would also recommend hiking the gorge trail to view the rapids & Fort Niagara too!

[@danixmoffat7229]

Journey behind the falls is cool too, but the best thing to do there is the helicopter rides.

[@StuMarston]

Nobody has ever gone over on the American side and survived.

A COUPLE CORRECTIONS... To this day (*2021) after the Canadian man in crisis who survived the 4am plunge in 2019, that makes ONLY 5 ‘Known’ People who have completely survived a unprotected fall over the Canadian Horseshoe Falls ever since they were first discovered in the 1800s. So just shy of ‘Half-a-dozen’ , NOT ‘a-dozen’. First ‘known’ person to survive the falls unprotected was 7yo Roger Woodward in July of 1960, his story is still referred to as ‘The Niagara Miracle’. And Kirk Jones’s first stunt was in 2003, not 2013. It was 14 YEARS before he tried to ‘beat the falls again’ in the inflatable ball but that time he wasn’t as lucky,

really beautiful

[@crypto-insights]

The "He did not make it out alive this time" really gave me sadness.

[@LoowheezeBreeze]

I've often wondered about the likelihood of survival if someone launched themselves over the falls at top speed on a jet ski, but also had some type of miniature hang gliding contraption or suit that would allow them to glide long enough to ensure they cleared the rocks below (FYI, they would let go of the jet ski once they went airborne)

[@seancameron5238]

A dude tried, he died. This mist from the falls caused his parachute not to open

[@Inamichan]

“Oh-no” “Don’t tell me. We’re about to go over a huge waterfall” “Yep” “Sharp rocks at the bottom?” “Most likely” “Bring it on”
