Niagra
On October 24, 1901, a 63-year-old schoolteacher named Annie Edson Taylor becomes the first person to successfully take the plunge over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

Prompt: If you were offered a chance to take the plunge over the Niagara, would you?

Haha, I doubt anyone asked that question would reply in the affirmative. Not unless they were masochists. If I absolutely needed to state why not, I’d probably say:
1 I’m claustrophobic
2 I’m too big to fit in a wine barrel and a beer barrel would smell of hops of which I can’t stand the smell.
3 I’m scared of white water
4 I don’t want to die yet
5 I’m not crazy
