At least this is what has been reported to date.

Fair enough. Maybe I'm just reminded of the childhood cartoon references to going over the falls in a barrel.
That, and having seen the Potomac after the hurricane, I'm having trouble picturing how anyone doesn't drown in the swirling water at the bottom.
Anyway, if the guy sounds like he did it so he could get it on TV, I'll be the first one to change the station. But if he did it just to prove it could be done, or some stupid primal instinct like that, then I think I'd probably find him interesting for 30 seconds or a minute.
