The 2nd person to survive going over Niagara Falls later died from slipping on an orange peel!
Bobby Leach was an English stuntman. He came to North America with a goal of completing a “triple challenge” of the Niagara Falls. This included a barrel trip through the rapids to the whirlpool, a barrel trip over the Falls, and a parachute jump from the Upper Suspension Bridge into the river.
His first attempt in 1910 left him stuck in the barrel in an eddy. He had to be rescued by a famous Niagara Riverman. He successfully made the trip in 1911 and broke both his knee caps and his jaw. While visiting New Zealand, Bobby slipped on an orange peel and fractured his leg. Gangrene set in and he died.
