Daredevil Bobby Leach courted death many times. In 1911, he was the second person in the world to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Though he went on to perform many other death-defying stunts, his death would be a little more pedestrian.
Whilst walking down a street in New Zealand, Leach slipped on a piece of orange peel shattering his leg so badly it had to be amputated. He died from an infection soon afterwards.
