Man survives Niagara plunge
A MAN has survived being swept over Niagara Falls and spending 40 minutes in near-freezing water.
Witness... a man, believed to be in his 30s or 40s, reportedly jumped a fence and dived into Niagara Falls / AP
Freezing conditions... After surviving the 54m fall, the man clung to a log but could not get to shore as currents swept him around in circles / AP
Saved... the man reportedly refused to co-operate with rescuers so a helicopter circled above him and used the wind generated by its blades to push him to shore / AP
Rough conditions... the man was taken to hospital with a head injury and possible hyporthermia. "It's pretty remarkable really that he could survive in the icy waters, especially after going over the falls," Niagara Parks Police Chief Doug W. Kane said / AP
Major attraction... Niagara Falls is made up of three falls, the American Falls, Horseshoe Falls and Bridal Veil Falls and separates the Canadian province of Ontario and the US state of New York. The man plunged over the Horseshoe Falls and entered the Niagara River on the Canadian side of the border / AP
