It looks like craziness to the non-kayaker, but people DO paddle kayaks over waterfalls. Though... generally not NIAGARA Falls.
And yet a kayaker planned just such a suicide event, as documented by kayaker/filmmaker Rush Sturges in a movie called "Chasing Niagara."
Did we mention that taking vessels over Niagara Falls is illegal? That's one of many revelations in the movie, showing at the Jefferson State Flixx Fest in Sturges' native Scott Valley (September 22-25). Rush Sturges towels off the spray and tells us about his passions.
