I went to Niagra Falls a couple months ago and found the exact spot that the kid was hanging from the railing before falling down into the falls. This adds nothing to the discussion but I was too excited to not share it whenever appropriate (my wife and kids didn't care).

Thank you! I was curious if this was real. Based on what I’ve seen on the internet I am assuming a kid is dumb enough to do what this one did in the film.

Yeah stuff like that definitely happens unfortunately. I always wondered how they shot it. Turns out it was some clever framing and there's a pretty big ledge and patch of grass right below that portion of the rail about, 10' away from it being a sheer drop. Add in a couple of dodgy optical composites of the kid actually falling and baby you've got a stew going
