Oh my….
Zimbabwe, Africa is the home of the Victoria Falls at a height of 128 meters. At the top of the falls you can find the infamous “Devil’s Swimming Pool“. Only accessible in the months between September and December hardcore thrill seekers (and apparently children in the care of these people) can swim right up to the edge of the falls and look over without falling…apparently.

Check out the video at the bottom! I’m a very good swimmer, but my question is how in the world do you get out of all that rushing water once you jump in? Does anyone know…I’m curious.

Children in the care of thrill seekers :o)

The question is: Would you dare?

My Real Answer: In the words of my co-worker, “Hell naw, you can NOT tell water what to do”.

My Political Answer: Adventure and be safe.
