Sure, but I’ve bounced my hand off an oven element before (supposedly around 1200f) and I’m left with a very superficial burn. It hurts for a minute but doesn’t blister and eventually dries up and falls off, but it’s never been deep. There just limitations on how quickly heat can propagate through a material. Not saying you’re not gonna get burned but I imagine the bonk to the head is worse than the burn he received.

It's very possible that the quickness of contact, and lack of molten things sticking greatly reduced the injury. I have on several occasions had momentary touches with glowing steel. Luckily, the burns were very shallow. Hairs gone, and the very top layer of skin turned to ash in a spot, or line, but no real pain, or depth to the burn.

I was told by a guy if you're going to get splashed you want to get splashed by steel. Steel cauterizes and slips off with a burn while alu sticks

Robert Overacker, a 39 year old man challenged the mighty Horseshoe Falls at on October 1st 1995. He planned on riding on a single jet ski until he reached the brink of the Falls. There he would deploy a rocket propelled parachute, which would help him land in the River below the Falls to allow for a rescue.

Overacker launched himself into the Niagara River upstream of the Falls from the area of the Canadian Niagara Power Plant. At the brink of the Falls, Overacker ignited a the rocket which deployed the parachute as planned. Unfortunately, as the parachute deployed, it fell away from Overacker’s reach to the ground below. Unknown to Overacker, the parachute was not bound to his body. He did not pack the parachute prior to the stunt and he was unaware of this fatal error. His step-brother and a friend witnessed this unfolding tragedy as Overacker fell to his death to the water below, as the 15th person to challenge the Falls.

A rocket propelled parachute? Nice.

What exactly kills someone when they go over Niagra? Is it the impact on the water? Being crushed under it? Drowning because it's impossible to swim? Like, do people make it to the water only to suffer horrifically or do they just splat quickly and die on impact?

In most cases they splat against the rocks. For those that miss the rocks, drowning most likely. The spray alone can be so strong that even when you're on the boat it can be tough to catch your breath if you're right in it. Imagine being in the choppy water with crazy currents and the spray in your face.

I don't think "hitting the water from a height is like hitting cement" would really happen here, as the water is so churned up and aerated that there isn't that firm solid water surface that could cause an impact injury.

You don't fall into a pool of water, you fall onto a pile of jagged rocks with tons of water cascading down on you. You then bounce over the rocks into a pool of water with tremendous currents that will pull you under for 10s of minutes at a time.

To be fair, that is the american side of the falls in the picture, which is far rockier than the canadian side. On the canadian side there is a small chance you can miss the rocks and hit water.
