Erendira Wallenda Will Hang by Her Teeth From Helicopter Over Niagara Falls
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.  The aerialist wife of daredevil Nik Wallenda is preparing for a stunt that will have her hanging by her teeth from a helicopter over Niagara Falls. Thursday morning's performance comes on the fifth anniversary of Nik Wallenda's televised high-wire walk over Niagara Falls. Plans call for Erendira AR'-en-deer-uh Wallenda to be tethered by her waist as she performs a series of maneuvers on a hoop suspended from a helicopter 300 feet 91 meters above the water. At one point she'll hang from her toes. At another, her teeth. The Wallendas say the stunt will break a height record Nik Wallenda set in 2011 when he hung by his teeth 250 feet 76 meters above Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. The Niagara County Legislature set aside 35,000 for the act last month.
