Since the early 1900’s, many people have been fascinated with trying to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Since 1901, approximately 15 people have tried this feat; several did not survive in their attempts. In 1993, Dave Munday took a plunge over the falls for a second time in a steel chamber with an airhole. He did a great deal of research on the physics and engineering of surviving his plunge over the falls.

Essential Question: If he fell straight down, how could

he predict how fast he would be moving when he hit the water?

Dave Munday's first attempt over the falls in 1985.
