@@vincenzom1954 That’s not accurate at all. I lived in WNY for 40+ years and have family/friends in Grand Island, Niagara Falls, Tonawanda, Buffalo, and all over Erie and Niagara county. It makes all the local news broadcasts and papers EVERY time someone goes over the falls. They track those stats diligently. Seneca Niagara is a dirt casino. People are losing unemployment and welfare checks there, not their life savings.
No sane person would dive in after they've seen and felt the power of the water going by. It makes you want to back up in case the ground cracks and falls in.
I vacationed there when I was 13. There is a part above the falls with just a railing separating you and the drop, it's terrifying where the mind takes you in scary situations
It really works!! I was being carried away by the rapids at Niagra falls and pulled my phone out and googled "How to survive Niagara falls" and this came up and saved my life!
The falls stoping their 100 MPH current in order for you to watch a 7 minute and 22 second video in peace was very considerate of them. They even offered you tea and crimpers to eat as well. 😩
As a WNY born and raised native I don't even need to see the video to tell you this.... YOU WILL NOT SURVIVE!!! DONT EVEN TRY IT. STAY AWAY FROM THE WATER.🤦♀️🤣 LOOK DONT TOUCH.
Have you heard of the miracle of the falls, a 19-ish year old girl almost fell off of the falls and a 7-ish year old boy fell off the falls and survived
I live ~40 min from Niagara Falls and go there often. The base of the falls is incredibly rocky. It’s amazing anyone survives 😬 On the American side you can literally walk right up and into the rapids if you wanted to.
If u fall on that rocky portion headfirst it would burst your skull popping out your brain 🧠 and devastating it and u might be brain dead immediately .Death will follow eventually due to shock and panic .
On the American side it isn't the fall that kills you, it's the toxic orange foam gathered at the bottom that gets you. Someone needs to teach Buffalo to stop throwing their trash in the river.
You are right. The best way to survive a fall into Niagara Falls is to not fall in. Not falling into the Niagara Falls is better than going to hospital, because as they say, prevention is better than cure.
I live 30 minutes from Niagara falls, Canada side. The hospital here sucks. I came in by ambulance while having a stroke and they put me in the waiting room to wait to be registered while I was having a stroke and then the nurse yelled at me bc I couldn't move my leg due to the stroke. If you ever come this way, don't go to the hospital. Lol
@@susane7221 And if I don't go the hospital, I won't get well and I would die. Do you remember, a boy named Roger Woodward fell into Niagara Falls. He luckily survived and went to a hospital. And that hospital is so good, he was released from the hospital in just 3 days. The hospital is not as bad as you think. Do you know that the hospital has saved millions of lives?
@@londonofficeuser probably before the nurse I had worked there. There is also a hospital in Niagara falls which was good. I don't remember that boy. I moved here in 2018 from Atlanta
@@JadedBelle Well, do you know that a seven year old boy fell in the Niagara falls and he was taken to a hospital and recovered? He was able to recover, so that means a hospital can help you. Now shut your bloody mouth and stop talking nonsense!
You’d have to be suicidal or nuts to want to try going over the falls. Both the Canadian and American governments should build the fences higher to prevent anyone from climbing over them.
@@anggr4549 He was going to build a wall around Niagara Falls? Stop being stupid. He’s talking about something specific and you’re talking about something completely different.🙄
We have guard rails along the river. Step one. Don't cross them. You'll be fine. P.S. it's very illegal to attempt to enter the water. Most people do for su****al reasons. Those who go there to f**ck around will get arrested quickly. Sincerely, a life long Niagara County Resident.
I've had the pleasure of visiting the falls a couple years ago and it was a great experience. There's a ferry that takes you close to the falls and i happen to stay on top deck where you'll feel the wash of water and wind. I tell ya i had a hard time breathing at times during that so i couldn't even imagine go over and having all the water falling down on top of you
Niagara Falls is jaw-droppingly beautiful, despite the commercialism in the area. I recommend visiting, just use common sense and stay on the correct side of the railing.
I live in Niagara Falls, born and raised. I am 20 seconds into this video, and already the lies start. The Niagara River does indeed COMMONLY gets well above freezing!!!! What a ridiculous thing to say. Summers are hot here. You think the water doesn't warm up as well? It does! It gets into the 70's Fahrenheit in summer.
I’ve been to Niagara Falls before!!!! Pretty Amazing. Here’s a Step everyone should follow: Don’t even think about going near the Waterfall. It’s not worth it at all.
So many tourist here let their kid climb the railing on the Canadian side and my mom freaks the heck out every time lol I’ve witnessed this too many times
Of course,the purpose of these videos is teaching common people survival tips in order to overcome extremely improbable situations but they still might come in handy.
@@Seageass01 You know something you're right. They're over 7 billion people on earth and odds are someone is being a dumbass every second and should watch these videos just before there impending doom!🤣
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.
I live in Buffalo and I often take boat rides in Lake Erie and go to the Falls quite frequently, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to watch this just in case. lol. Thanks for this! Hope I never need to apply this knowledge but better safe than sorry.
I think it's funny that they fail to mention that the constant water pressure will bring you back under the falls and hold your body there for years potentially. That poor girl that jumped last winter was never found. Then if you do survive the jump and get to the surface, you have the worlds only class 6 rapids which you won't survive that and the whirlpool.
@@Danp34332 there was a girl that jumped last winter???? I live in Niagara Falls and never heard of it. I grew in Lewiston on the Niagara River. Every Summer you'd hear about bodies turning up. My older brothers discovered some blown up from the water. My parents own a Marina in Lewiston for 40 plus years. I've never thought the Falls was a glamorous place. I always thought there is something creepy about those waters.
@@Monkey-fc9nc yeah that poor girl from Buff State that committed suicide. She was on the news for like 2 weeks. She went to goat island at like 1am and never came off the island. She called a couple of friends and told them she had a plan to end it after her bf broke up with her.
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.
I was born and raised in Niagara Falls NY. My first job was with the Maid of the Mist. Too many times I would go to work at the Souvenir store base of the Falls - law enforcement pulling out a body or bones being found.
I live in Canada and I never knew people were so scared of freaking Niagara Falls my family and I always go there not scared. There’s no way to fall off unless you literally g9 over the Fence which is your fault. Go to Niagara cuz it’s one best looking places on earth.
In the 60s a kid went over with just a life preserver on and survived. It was an accidental going over. His sister managed to swim to the shore before going over, but the adult with them (father I think, maybe uncle) perished. The Maid of the Mist picked the boy out of the water.
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!
Having lived a 10 min. walk from the Falls half of my life. Then close by and always bring my kids. It's weird to make it out that it's people jumping all the time. It is a beautiful, majestic natural wonder of the World. People who can take a trip to visit will enjoy it.
Having gone to Niagara Falls many times over the years the sheer idea of getting into the water is terrifying tbh. Gorgeous and powerful but dangerous. (The Canadian side is better btw!)
What this didn’t take into consideration is cold water shock. When a person submerges under cold water instantly they may open their mouth in a reflex and suck air in by a reflex, like a cold shower. So initially some of these people may have not been pummeled by rocks but hit the water opened mouth and drowned instantly. They invented drysuit for a reason.
@@kenwittlief255 in cold water you may begin to drown instantly from cold water shock. You’ll gasp and mouth opens and begin instantly drowning. That’s why people wear dry suits
i live next to the niagara falls, i’ve leaned over a little bit. just don’t be dumb and lean to far or try to sit on the short fence. it’s a beautiful sight and i go there almost everyday.
I live in Buffalo, NY I grew up around the Falls I do not care what anyone says you will not survive under any circumstances!!! You can only understand the true power of the Falls once you witness it in person!!!!
You won’t survive going over the American Falls, because of the rocks, but a few have survived going over the Horseshoe Falls, including a 12 year old boy, in 1960.
There’s a theme park on the Canadian side called MarineLand. It has a ride called the Sky Screamer that’s constructed on a mountain and built very high. If you sit on the side of the ride facing the Falls, you’ll get the best view of the Falls money can buy.
I personally witnessed an Australian tourist go over Victoria Falls (accidentally) and he certainly didn’t survive. In fact, he was split in two at the torso. Zambia Police Service were able to recover his upper body, but the lower body was either washed swiftly down river or caught in a vortex below the falls. 🇿🇲
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)
Off topic but I live in Western NC and my county is literally called the land of waterfalls. Every summer we lose about five tourists just from going over them. I've been a nurse for 10 years and I've personally have checked in 14 people into the morgue from just going over the damn things. Not from suicide. They just don't pay attention to the signs and lose their footing. Our biggest waterfall, Looking Glass, has a huge deck where you can take photos and stairs if you want to check the bottom out without having to fall to your death. We even invested in a fence and the damn people climb right over it. I'm not even talking about teenagers but grown ass adults. The only thing I can figure is they think the current isn't strong enough to knock them over. Which is usually correct. It's the rocks being slippery that gets them. Everytime. We put it on the damn sign "watch out you can really bust your ass open here and fall to your death and lose your face is in the process". Doesn't even phase them
If you are in the Niagara River above the falls you better have a good anchor and a working marine radio, and use them long BEFORE you get to the "point of no return"
@@myacampbell6516 - Is that area still that bad? I remember coming across from the Canadian side after a trip around Lake Ontario as a kid, and the difference was surprising. It was like going from a nice neighborhood into a slum. I would have thought they'd have gentrified it a bit by now.

Waterfalls are beautiful but also deadly. In Idaho we have Shoshone Falls (212 feet high), the "Niagara of the West". And let's not forget Multnomah Falls in Oregon, at 620 feet high.
The one thing I heard about people who go over the falls , is the body is literally torn apart from the force of water ,etc . Since I was a kid , I was always scared of falling in and stood back a bit . I still gets shivers when I watch the guy who stopped himself mere feet from going over on a planned suicide attempt . That was truly a miracle and I think he became a Christian after this . How could you not thank God for not going over ..lol Thank God he was looking the other way because he was so close you could spit over the falls .
The rocks below are a major reason bodies are torn apart. They usually wash up near the Power Vista ( water discharge location where the Robert Moses generating power) plant)

It’s an awesome place to see, of course the Canadian side is the best view..however it’s unlikely anyone today would survive the falls with the jagged rocks and the constant whirlpool.
Were you high??? There's nothing there that even remotely makes one want to walk on the water. The first time I visited there a young boy and his sister were in a boat that had problems above the falls and fell into the water. The girl was just barely rescued 20 feet from the lip. The 7-year old boy went over and miraculously survived. The operator of the boat went over and was killed. The whole atmosphere was crazy. The best view is from the Canada side.

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!
I would also recommend hiking the gorge trail to view the rapids & Fort Niagara too!
Journey behind the falls is cool too, but the best thing to do there is the helicopter rides.

@LAKSHITA SATYA u commented too late
That was escalation
Having lived a 10 min. walk from the Falls half of my life. Then close by and always bring my kids. It's weird to make it out that it's people jumping all the time.
It is a beautiful, majestic natural wonder of the World. People who can take a trip to visit will enjoy it.
I've been there. its really nice but it made my anxiety high
Having gone to Niagara Falls many times over the years the sheer idea of getting into the water is terrifying tbh. Gorgeous and powerful but dangerous. (The Canadian side is better btw!)
Ty I'm doing made of the mist tmr and I did Canadian side jet boat today It was awesome
What this didn’t take into consideration is cold water shock. When a person submerges under cold water instantly they may open their mouth in a reflex and suck air in by a reflex, like a cold shower. So initially some of these people may have not been pummeled by rocks but hit the water opened mouth and drowned instantly. They invented drysuit for a reason.
you dont drown instantly - your lungs fill with water instantly, but you remain conscious for about 4 minutes without air
@@kenwittlief255 in cold water you may begin to drown instantly from cold water shock. You’ll gasp and mouth opens and begin instantly drowning. That’s why people wear dry suits
Lol. That’s helpful.. I never thought about that.. Thank you..

i live next to the niagara falls, i’ve leaned over a little bit. just don’t be dumb and lean to far or try to sit on the short fence. it’s a beautiful sight and i go there almost everyday.
It's easy to survive Niagara Falls. Here's a hint: Stay away from the water.

I live in Buffalo, NY I grew up around the Falls I do not care what anyone says you will not survive under any circumstances!!! You can only understand the true power of the Falls once you witness it in person!!!!
You won’t survive going over the American Falls, because of the rocks, but a few have survived going over the Horseshoe Falls, including a 12 year old boy, in 1960.
@@jenniferrogers2492 He was seven. Roger Woodward.
over the last 100 years around 2,000 people have gone over (estimated)
how many survived? 10? the odds are not good.

Hello fellow childhood cartoon character
There’s a theme park on the Canadian side called MarineLand. It has a ride called the Sky Screamer that’s constructed on a mountain and built very high. If you sit on the side of the ride facing the Falls, you’ll get the best view of the Falls money can buy.
I go every year I could never tire of seeing it. Haven't fallen in yet
I am currently falling down Niagara Falls watching this video and the info is really helpful. Thanks and goodbye!

I personally witnessed an Australian tourist go over Victoria Falls (accidentally) and he certainly didn’t survive. In fact, he was split in two at the torso. Zambia Police Service were able to recover his upper body, but the lower body was either washed swiftly down river or caught in a vortex below the falls. 🇿🇲
Beautiful place, scary currents. Been there myself.

Fun Fact: in 1901, a lady called Annie esbolh went in a barrel down Niagara Falls and she survived!
At elementary school, when I was writing a narrative about going there, I described the waterfall as about 150 feet tall, so I was pretty close.
Imagine you are in the edge of the fall..and watching this tutorial
I’m doing it right now
It very breathtaking when you take the maid of the mist cruise boat , you very close to the water from the boat 😮
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)
A dude tried, he died. This mist from the falls caused his parachute not to open
Off topic but I live in Western NC and my county is literally called the land of waterfalls. Every summer we lose about five tourists just from going over them. I've been a nurse for 10 years and I've personally have checked in 14 people into the morgue from just going over the damn things. Not from suicide. They just don't pay attention to the signs and lose their footing. Our biggest waterfall, Looking Glass, has a huge deck where you can take photos and stairs if you want to check the bottom out without having to fall to your death. We even invested in a fence and the damn people climb right over it. I'm not even talking about teenagers but grown ass adults. The only thing I can figure is they think the current isn't strong enough to knock them over. Which is usually correct. It's the rocks being slippery that gets them. Everytime. We put it on the damn sign "watch out you can really bust your ass open here and fall to your death and lose your face is in the process". Doesn't even phase them
Lose your face IS in the process?
Thanks for the info, I won't underestimate any falls.
these videos are so interesting for reasons that i am unaware of
I always wondered....what if a tourist boat loses his engine when getting close to the edge? Is it gonna go down with everyone in it?
Those boats are already at the bottom of the falls.
If you are in the Niagara River above the falls you better have a good anchor and a working marine radio, and use them long BEFORE you get to the "point of no return"
I've visited Niagara Falls and it's a magical place to visit and live
Lmao no it’s not, I love 20 min frome there, one of the shittiest places in NY, Canada side is nice tho
@@myacampbell6516 - Is that area still that bad? I remember coming across from the Canadian side after a trip around Lake Ontario as a kid, and the difference was surprising. It was like going from a nice neighborhood into a slum. I would have thought they'd have gentrified it a bit by now.
@@myacampbell6516 really? when I went the canadian side was actually kinda dirty and stuff, but the ny was ok-ish.
@@myacampbell6516 I agree bro .
The ship ride is the most fun part.
I met some of the kindest people there.
I was there in October 2021.
Seductive and beautiful.
“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”
The "He did not make it out alive this time" really gave me sadness.

Not to high

Fact: Niagara Falls is deeper at the base than it is high.

Waterfalls are beautiful but also deadly. In Idaho we have Shoshone Falls (212 feet high), the "Niagara of the West". And let's not forget Multnomah Falls in Oregon, at 620 feet high.
The one thing I heard about people who go over the falls , is the body is literally torn apart from the force of water ,etc .
Since I was a kid , I was always scared of falling in and stood back a bit .
I still gets shivers when I watch the guy who stopped himself mere feet from going over on a planned suicide attempt .
That was truly a miracle and I think he became a Christian after this .
How could you not thank God for not going over ..lol
Thank God he was looking the other way because he was so close you could spit over the falls .
The rocks below are a major reason bodies are torn apart. They usually wash up near the Power Vista ( water discharge location where the Robert Moses generating power) plant)
This is what I always wanted to do.
This is my life's purpose
Thank you

Very handy video, you never know when you could find yourself going over Niagra Falls.
It’s an awesome place to see, of course the Canadian side is the best view..however it’s unlikely anyone today would survive the falls with the jagged rocks and the constant whirlpool.
Ethan and Hila just chilling in this informational video
The Niagara river also gets plenty above freezing , it’s around 73 I think at the moment .
Yep. Was happily in it today - and I am not a fan of cold water. Wasn’t too bad.
I just went to the falls and the waters are so alluring and beautiful you want to walk on the water... and feel that coolness on your skin...
Were you high??? There's nothing there that even remotely makes one want to walk on the water. The first time I visited there a young boy and his sister were in a boat that had problems above the falls and fell into the water. The girl was just barely rescued 20 feet from the lip. The 7-year old boy went over and miraculously survived. The operator of the boat went over and was killed. The whole atmosphere was crazy. The best view is from the Canada side.
@@prairiepucker9392 yeah that water looks so refreshing and beautiful... just like beach water you want to put your feet in the water
Take a cool shower. Much safer. Beautiful place, stay safe and GOD bless all.
@@dalehood1846 😂 right… they should make a place you can put your feet in tho

"The best way to survive falling into Niagara Falls is to not fall in" - genius
It's a beautiful place, lonely scenery. But if I went I would NEVER get in the freaking river. Just would enjoy the view

Cool stuff.
I would just sing before dying 😔🙌🏻
Sing "Oh Canada", so maybe you'll go to a Canadian hospital if you do happen to survive.
I didn't need to watch this to survive.
I'm not putting myself in this situation, I've already survived
I live here, I've thought about jumping a few times but it's too intimidating I'd rather jump infront of a train😂😂
