In the past, countless people have made it their mission to take on the Falls and prove to the world that they are the ultimate daredevil. In fact, numerous people have attempted to attach a tightrope to either side of the waterfall and then walk along the thin rope without anything to keep them safe.

The first person to attempt this was in 1859 and many people have since followed suit. In fact, Nik Wallenda did just that in 2012, but he could not complete this walk without receiving permission from America and Canada beforehand.
