Bobby Leach was the second person to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel (the first was a woman named Annie Taylor), but that's not what killed him. He spent many years on the lecture circuit, telling about his harrowing adventure. In 1926, he slipped on a banana peel; his injured leg became gangrenous and had to be amputated. He died of complications from the operation.
