There was a guy a long time ago that walked across the Falls carrying someone else on his back. About halfway across, the performer got tired and had to make the person on his back climb down and stand on the wire while he rested. The rider wasn't a tightrope walker (btw). It was a harrowing experience for him. They made it though. I wonder what new novelty any contemporary performer could find in Niagra Falls?

The rider wasn't a tightrope walker (btw). Interesting place to learn how to stand on a tightrope. (Must admit, I find that one somewhat hard to believe.)
