Jean Lussier
Toronto Daily Star, 5 July 1928
Jean Lussier (1891-1971) was 37, not 34, when he went over the falls in a rubber ball of his own design. After surviving the plunge, he sold bits of the rubber ball as souvenirs; when the ball ran out, he sold bits of rubber tire instead. He died of natural causes in 1971.
