The title, "Rescues from the Falls," doesn't tell the whole story. Yes, there are some heroic rescue stories, but they're in the minority. The hard fact is that many people, bent on ending their own lives, choose to do so by plunging over Niagara Falls. In his talk to NCRA, Shawn will be shedding light on this dark side.
There's a revealing quote from renowned author, Yuval Noah Harrari, that helps put things in perspective:
"For the first time in history more people commit suicide than are killed by crime, terrorism and war combined."
The Niagara Parks Police High Angle Rescue Team spend a lot of time and money on the recovery of bodies, often at great risk to their staff. For this reason, I have been asked to ensure that the message being delivered to our attendees not be heard by casual guests at the luncheon. We are requesting an area away from the madding crowd.
