Dude actually ran off and joined a circus.
Surreal yet uplifting. Hollywood don't write 'em this good. If Steven Spielberg and David Lynch had a baby together, that baby could direct a movie version. I can already see the trailer. It could be called Niagra Fell. Or Niagredemption. Or Without A Net (ooo, I like that one because it ties in the circus theme).

A Michigan man who survived an unprotected plunge over Niagara Falls was fined $2,260 Thursday and ordered to stay out of Niagara Park for a year. The former auto parts salesman said that he was depressed when he climbed down a small embankment and jumped into the Niagara River... he remains the only known person to have survived the trip without a barrel, life jacket or other device... Jones said his depression is now over... "All my problems were left at the bottom of that gorge," Kirk Jones, 41, said Thursday during a return visit to Canada.

Jones has since joined a circus in Texas.
