This Woman Was The Very First Person To Go Over The Niagra Falls Inside Of A Barrel, And She Lived To Tell The Tale

She was unscathed besides a cut on her forehead, which she received while getting out of the barrel.

Annie’s plan to become famous for her jump was a success, as she officially became the first person to barrel-jump into the falls and survive.

She sold various mementos from her jump and wrote a popular memoir. However, despite her fame and brief monetary success, she didn’t become as lucrative as she had hoped. It’s reported that when she died in 1921, she was still quite poor.

So as you can see, diving into Niagara Falls at all, especially in a barrel, is a terrible idea. Although Annie survived, the majority of others who tried to make the jump after she did not.

If you want to get close to the falls, try out one of their official boat tours. Until then, use Annie as a precautionary tale.
