    Can't believe you people are saying such negative things. If he were successful you would be praising him. It's not like it's unachievable.

      They didn't even put it into water before sending him off the falls. That a great idea!

      It was a smart decision to use poppable plasticky stuff. I mean…. he tried. I wonder how cork would fare.

      Why is it dumb? He tried to do something that few have done before.
      Humanity owes a huge debt to people like him that dared to push the limits. It's people like him that went to the moon, discovered America and in the future will be the first to walk on Mars.
      We can question his motives but we cannot mock his bravery.
