[b]Danger at Niagara Falls[/b]
1
In all of North America, few sights are as beautiful as Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is the widest and most powerful waterfall in North America. People come from all over the world to see and hear its crashing waters.
2
In the past, there were also those who went to Niagara Falls to do dangerous stunts. Some became famous for their stunts, but others were injured or killed when their stunts went wrong.
3
A man named Jean Francois Gravelet was the most famous person to risk his life doing stunts at Niagara Falls. On a summer day in 1859, Gravelet walked a tightrope across the Niagara River. Gravelet stepped lightly along the rope. He even stopped along the way to take a drink from a bottle. In a later stunt, Gravelet cooked a meal on a small stove while balancing on the tightrope. Another time, he carried a man on his back across the tightrope.
4
Gravelet was not Niagara Fall's only tightrope walker. There was also Clifford Calverley. He carried a chair to the middle of the tightrope, placed the chair on the rope, and sat down to read a newspaper. Maria Spelterini also did daring stunts. She once crossed a tightrope with a blindfold over her eyes. Another time, she crossed a rope wearing a wooden fruit basket on each foot.
5
Riding over Niagara Falls in a barrel was another stunt that people attempted. A woman named Annie Taylor did it for the first time in 1901. She tried to make a living by charging Niagara Falls visitors money to hear her story.
6
Other barrel riders were not as lucky as Annie Taylor. Some died when their barrels crashed into the water, and others were badly injured. It is no wonder that today it is against the law to try dangerous stunts at Niagara Falls. The only safe way to appreciate this powerful waterfall is from a distance.
