The Devils Swimming Pool....Would you dare?

[Baaheeduk]

In Zimbabwe, Africa, you will find the magnificent Victoria Falls at a height of 128m.
The location is known as "The Devil's Swimming Pool".


During the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible
to the edge of the falls without falling over!

These falls are becoming well known amongst the "radical tourist" industry as more
and more people search for the ultimate experience.

Would you dare?

its one thing to put yourself on the edge of something like that, but your kids as well?? ffs

 

[Insurgent]

No chance!

 

[Kruger]

i must admit i would have a look.

 

[Trabbs]

I couldn't believe the ones where the kids are in there! Severe trauma problems in later years for them I suspect!

Id be worried though if there was a storm 100miles away and got a surge.. over ya go lol

Wasn't having a go at you specifically mate, just commenting it's easier from 2,000 (?) miles away.

 

[nizzex]

wtf. must be silly letting kids even get on the water!

 

[oldmanken]

Keep the kids away, but defo let wife get as close as she wants lol

 

[MONKey]

HELL YEAH!

That would be a serious adrenaline rush if the water at the bottom is deep enough so you can jump off into it!

 

[wonko]

serious cases of insanity should be removed from the gene pool - this seems a lot more cost effective than asylums lol

 

[earwig999]
