Lori Martin being rescued after she and Steve Trotter went over the Horseshoe Falls in a barrel.
Description
en-CA On June 18, 1995 Steve Trotter and Lori Martin were the first "coed" team to go over the falls in a barrel. The 12 foot barrel was made from 2 pieces of hot water heater welded together and coated in kevlar. They had an air supply lasting 90 minutes. After going over the Horseshoe Falls, the barrel became lodged in a rock crevice and members of the Niagara Falls Fire Department, along with Parks police had to climb over the guard rail in the tunnels to reach the trapped barrel and secure it with a line to shore. They then opened the hatch and pulled out Martin and Trotter followed.
