He was found sitting on rocks at the falls' base without any life-threatening injuries
Niagara Parks Police in Ontario, Canada, responded to a man they described as being “in crisis” in the early hours of the morning, only to find him climbing over the retaining wall, a stone barrier that separates the waterfall from its visitors. The man was quickly swept over Horseshoe Falls, but was later found sitting on rocks in the Lower Niagara River at the falls’ base without any life-threatening injuries, according to tweets from the police department.
Horseshoe Falls, which lies between the U.S.-Canada border, is the largest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara, standing at 167 ft. high, with upstream rapids that reach 25mph. The whirlpool rapids at the bottom of the fall can reach 30mph.
