Karel Soucek (1947-1985)
Czech-Canadian stuntman Karel Soucek developed his own shock-absorbent barrel, which he was encased in as he successfully went over Niagara Falls in 1984. One year later, he used the same barrel at a show in the Houston Astrodome when it was dropped from the roof. It hit the rim of the water tank, which was meant to cushion his fall. Karel did not survive.
