surviving the falls..복수로 폭포..

a man had plunged over Niagara Falls into the thundering waters below and impossibly managed to get to shore..

a stroke of luck..뜻밖의 행운, 천우신조..
his idea is a stroke of genius..

he had to contend with bone-chilling waters..racing by at abou 70 miles per hour..씨름하다
i had to cntend with long lines at the airport..

the real danger is when you hit, and the falls are churning up the waters beneath the falls so intensely..휘젓다 뒤틀리게 하다.
When i heard the news, i was churned up inside..

been torn limb from limb

trying to kill himself, but cheated death..죽으믈 모면하다..
he cheated death three times...

over to the shoreline..뭍

recounted the treacherous tale..이야기하다.
