Barrel Rider is a point of interest in Red Dead Redemption 2.
Description[]
At the base of Donner Falls in Ambarino lay hunks of shattered wood and a broken corpse—that of Desirée LaFlamme who perished in an attempt to ride a barrel over the falls and died as a result. The Stunt is publicized on a poster at Emerald Station. "Desirée LaFlamme Queen of the Rapids".
Trivia[]
- This point of interest is likely a reference to the real-life Annie Edson Taylor, the first person to survive a trip over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Unlike her in-game counterpart, Annie survived her stunt with nothing but a small gash on her head, as did a cat who previously made the trip to test the strength of the barrel.

Arthur's drawing: "Found the remains of some poor bastard woman tried to go over a waterfall in a barrel. Found it interesting, sad, I guess. An even more ridiculous life than the one I lead."
John's drawing: "Found a dead body in a barrel. Some poor woman, wonder why she did this. Glory? Love? Stupidity? All three?"
