March 20, 2015 – Horse diving was a common death-defying act in America in the 1920s. Horses, often with riders on their backs, launched themselves from high platforms into pools or bodies of water, to the delight of crowds in Atlantic City and in circuses traveling across the country. The stunt continued to be performed until the late 1970s.
