The Resume

    (1856-1926)
    'Niagara Falls Plunge (July 25, 1911)'
    Niagara Falls, New York Daredevil
    Appeared in an IMAX feature

Why he might be annoying:

    He risked his life to gain attention.
    he was featured on 'Ripley's Believe It or Not.'
    It took him six months in the hospital recuperating from injuries/fractures sustained.
    He slipped on an orange peel fifteen years later in New Zealand and broke his leg.
    His broken leg was amputated after infection set in, but the infection spread and led to his death.
    He died from slipping on an orange peel, but survived going over the raging Falls of Niagara.
    Charles Stephens refused to heed Leach's safety advice and his plunge led to his death.
    He once parachuted from the Upper Steel Arch Bridge.
    He broke both knee caps and his jaw when he went over Horseshoe Falls.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He probably got a lot of good hospital food during his recovery.
    He used an all steel barrel.
    He truly had good intentions when attempting to help Charles Stephens.
    He was once rescued by William 'Red' Hill Sr.
    He purchased and operated a restaurant in Niagara Falls.
