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.

Suffocation does seem to be the prevailing theme for many who go over the falls, barrel or no. The guy who strapped himself to an anvil inside a wooden barrel and in so doing quartered himself on impact is my favorite, though. The Straight Dope had a definitive list of Niagaranauts and their various fates, but its website seems to be malfunctioning today.
In other stunt/publicity whore news, David Blaine is back on solids, which is probably more than we can say for Roy "I need cranial surgery like I need a hole in my head" Horn.
