He Survived Niagara Falls in a Steel Barrel and Was Killed by an Orange Peel

Bobby Leach went over Niagara Falls in a steel barrel in 1911, broke both kneecaps, fractured his jaw, spent 23 weeks in the hospital, and lived to tell the tale for 15 years — only to slip on an orange peel in New Zealand and die of gangrene. A 63-year-old schoolteacher beat him to the jump AND outlived him. This is a real historical event. Are you shitting me?A dumb thing Brett learned while avoiding real responsibilities.
