Got this in an email at work, thought it was pretty cool.

[SIZE=2][COLOR=blue][FONT=Verdana]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”. [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Default Sans Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif][SIZE=2][INDENT][INDENT][INDENT][LEFT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=blue][FONT=Verdana]

During the months of September and December, people can swim as close as possible to the edge of the falls without falling over! but if you happened to fall in there call us we will come and help you out if you are not disappeared. These falls are becoming well known amongst the “radical tourist” industry as more and more people search for the ultimate experience. [/COLOR][/FONT][FONT=Arial][COLOR=Black]Would you dare?

Wow that looks nuts/awesome.

3

That’s fucking awesome!!! I would 100% do that, and I wanna look up how much it would cost… right now! Although I wouldn’t necessarily want my family there, kids sometimes do stupid things :frowning:

4

just looking at that takes my breath away. :ohnoes:

5

holy balls!

6

sounds like a perfect soloution then. no? (am i allowed to say that anymore?)

7

More than allowed, imo. :io:

8

Awesome, but it looks relatively safe based on how little water is actually flowing over in that spot.

Would suck if a sudden rush of water came from upstream though.

Put +1 on not letting my kid do it.

9

Saw this a while ago. That would be awesome.

10

Holy crap. For reference, it’s twice as high as Niagara Falls and a mile wide.

It’s also referred to “Earth’s Vagina”

Okay I made that up, but if I was God or something, I’d hit it. I mean it’s already wet, isn’t it?

It should hook up with Florida AKA America’s wang.

13

hahahhaa. :clap:

14

LMAO!!!

15

too bad we could not artifically do this for niagara falls

16

And then be like “gotcha!” and turn the flow back on and wash everyone over. Preferrably the American side so that everyone splatters on the rocks. :tup:

We actually have reduced the flow of the falls quite a bit. Before the 1950’s they used to erode about 3’ per year. Now it’s 1’ every 10 years. Or at least that’s what the little trivia thing by the window at Skylon Tower restaurant said. :shrug:

“Beware of rapidly rising water levels”

Yeah, that would suck if you were chillin in the devils pool.

19

At the the long fall would give you a last few seconds with your family.
