This BBC reporter was convinced by some people that he would be fine if he jumped into a pool right above the 300 foot drop at Victoria Falls. It turns out they were right, but that is one big leap of faith, even if you have seen others go before you.
Pardon my all caps rant, but NO FUCKING WAY IN HELL WOULD I EVER EVER EVER get NEAR that water! I almost just peed myself watching it. NOOOOOO
ReplyDelete(and pardon my language as well)
ReplyDeleteFor a minute there, I was expecting to see a compilation of Posh Spice accidents.
ReplyDeleteLmao!!
DeleteI remember I went to VF's but it was off season and the Devil's pool as that area is called was not open.
ReplyDeleteI've seen that before. The rock just under the surface is kind of like a wading pool.
ReplyDeleteI would still puke, though.
HOLY MOLY! Yes, this is an all caps exception!
ReplyDeleteThis made my stomach very squirrelly.
ReplyDeleteFuck. That!
ReplyDeleteThe falls would turn yellow from the amount of terrified peeing I would be doing!
ReplyDeleteI can't stand too close to a balcony railing once I get above the 5th floor. There is not a chance in hell I'd do what he did.
ReplyDeletethis area is called devil's pool and as someone else mentioned, if you go during the right time of year it is quite common for tourists (albeit the more adventurous ones!!) to take the plunge!! definitely on my bucket list!!
ReplyDeleteARE YOU INSANE?!?
ReplyDeleteI'm still in trouble with my mother (18 years later) for the picture of me sitting on the edge of the rock that sticks out off the edge of Half Dome. I'm pretty sure this would get me ground for life, no matter what my age.
ReplyDeleteSo cool! Can't wait to do this!!
ReplyDeleteThere is no way I would ever do it but I have seen quite a lot of videos on youtube of people doing this. I don't think it is uncommon for people who visit the area.
ReplyDeleteNo no no no no no no!
ReplyDeleteHell to the NO!
ReplyDeleteHow do you exit?
ReplyDeleteI feel ill just watching that.
ReplyDeleteOh HALE NAW.
ReplyDeleteQueasy.
ReplyDeleteBut also have the Pulp Fiction / Rosanna Arquette expression on my face - the one she has after Uma Thurman revives from the adrenaline shot.
Gorgeous! If I were dying maybe I'd just do it.
ReplyDeleteMommy.
ReplyDeleteMy palms got sweaty watching that... There is no way I would ever be able to do that. I am with Jenn - Mommy.
ReplyDeleteJesus h Christ... Thanks for the heart attack yo.
ReplyDeleteWhat Jaiden said
ReplyDeleteI have done it! When I went, some local people were swimming in it, too. No crocodiles! If you want even more adventure, you should go white water rafting below. There is where the crocodiles live and the grade 5 rapids lie - "extremely difficult, long and violent rapids, steep gradients, big drops and pressure areas."
ReplyDeleteThat looks kind of scary but really fun.
