I don’t know why they do this, but the Niagara Falls Review often posts the same article twice to their web site, often with different headlines. The content of the article is usually the same, but the picture may be different. In this case, they have the same article posted about Dean Sullivan, the man who wants to rapell down outside the Skylon Tower. I thought he was going to do it on Canada Day, but now it is planned for Monday. The first article has a picture of him, and the second article has a a short video of him in front of the Skylon Tower.
When a hardcore thrill-seeker tries to play by the rules, the paperwork and red tape start to pile up, but don’t get him down.
“You can’t even believe how much work -to do it legally. There’s all kinds of paperwork,” said Dean Sullivan, the 42-year-old daredevil who plans to jump from the observation deck of the Skylon Tower Monday. He’ll be attached to a rope, using his hands as a brake to stop before he hits the ground.
Sullivan now has the approvals he needs to rappel from the observation deck of the 520-foot tower.
As I mentioned before, I know his father and spoke with him briefly a few days ago. I didn’t tell him I was going to write anything about our conversation, so I am reluctant to include much of what was said. Needless to say, even when a person is experienced, their family still worries!
