Erendira Wallenda, the aerialist wife of daredevil Nik Wallenda, successfully hung by her teeth from a helicopter over Canada's Niagara Falls pulling off the stunt five years to the day her husband walked a tight rope over the falls.
The 36‑year‑old mother of three was tethered to a hoop suspended from a helicopter 91 metres above the water.
With the mist from the falls as a backdrop, Wallenda worked herself into a series of dramatic poses, waving her arms as she dangled by her knees and toes and doing handstands and splits.
She hung twice by her teeth with the use of a mouth guard.
About 200 people watched on shore at Niagara Falls State Park, many with cellphones aloft to capture photos and video of Wallenda.
The Wallendas said the stunt broke a height record Nik Wallenda set in 2011 when he hung by his teeth 76 meters above Silver Dollar City in Missouri.
