An article in the Toronto Globe and Mail about the death of a Japanese exchange student who fell to her death last week after losing her balance and falling over Niagara Falls reports on people who have survived the plunge and quotes UB physiology professor David Pendergast. Only a rare combination of luck and location explains how three people who went over the falls came out alive, he said.
