The second person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel died from slipping on banana peel



Bobby Leach was the second person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel (the first was a woman named Annie Taylor), but that's not what killed him. 

He spent many years on the lecture circuit, telling about his harrowing adventure. 

In 1926, he slipped on a banana peel. His injured leg became gangrenous and had to be amputated.
