Would You Dare?

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, when more and more people search for the ultimate experience.

Would you dare?

hey aw... 
 
I bet you're just another braindead Americans, right? 
 
The people in the photos are smart enough to realize that the water in the pool they are in is just trickling over the edge so there is little danger of being washed over the edge. You can even see that much from the photos... it's just trickling. So if you really have a need to improve the gene pool then put a bullet in your kids' heads then one in yours. In fact if *every* American would do that the world would be a much better place.

Why do people always assume these things are photoshopped? Look on any tourist websites.

Seriously? Bullet in our kids head?I've never heard such an ignorant, UNINTELLIGENT, hate filled comment like that from any American. Congrats, you just raised the bar. Have you been there? NO. Have you been to America? NO. Enough said.

Dear bob, 
 
Bravo on your broad generalization about the 303 million+ americans. We are all in fact incredibly rude. I mean we make sweeping generalizations about people from other countries constantly. It's what makes us stupid american pigs right? :roll  
 
But really, as far as hanging out in the pool goes I do want.

I don't think I could do it. 
 
and bob I think what aw meant was that kids aren't usually known for their concern for personal safety, and precise motor skills.

i might do that, but i think the braver people are the ones that had the guts to actually STAND near the edge long enough for a friend/family member to slowly crawl forward, stop, whine abit, crawl forward again, and finally get into position for them to take the pic

No way! I've heard of a water fall in Zim (babwe)that has a certain current that allows the locals to swim in it and not get swept over board, while there are huge waterfalls going on all around. 
Amazing experience! ( I assume! )

P.s. really tired of all the lame -o responses regarding "gene pools". please go out and enjoy life , travel if you must . but please dont go around flinging snotty remarks at people you've never met or at things you've never done. thanksabunch. aka shut up !!

Hey Bob... 
 
You might consider using proper grammar when calling people 'just another braindead Americans'. It's hard to find value in a person's perspective when they show themselves to be angry AND uneducated... although I agree with you that aw didn't see the picture for what it is - a safe place to be.  
 
Cool falls pics!

Hey I know what to do! Lets judge lets judge an entire populous of a country! Nobody that lives there could POSSIBLY be different. 
 
Now back on topic. I've seen these photos before, pretty sweet :) And they're real. Bob, as much as I disagree with his random rant about Americans, is right about the people being in no danger :P. Not for me though, I look down at that height and get nauseous!

It's not about being washed over by rushing water. They are standing on a mossy stone ledge with slippery, trickling water running over it.  
 
By the way, there shouldn't be an 's' at the end of the word American, genius. :sigh

Way to go Bob.... Americans are all dumb. Could it be just that he is an idiot????? 
 
But then again you must be one of those ignorant Canadians. 
(see makes no sense to generalize does it)

Wow, what an assumption Bob, your stupid so you must be an American. Way to prove your superior intelligence by making unfounded insults against a whole country of people when you don't even have a clue if this person is from that country. People accuse Americans of being arrogant and rude, but I guess they just haven't met you. I'd much rather be a stupid American than an arrogant jerk from whatever country your from.

Bob, lumping all citizens of one country into one category is ignorant, and suggesting that they should kill themselves just paints yourself as an bigot. I am sure not everyone in your country behaves just as you do and and shares your opinions. countries are diverse. If you have a problem with the american government or policy, that is fine, but learn how to differentiate between a country's government and it's citizens. I don't know what caused your overblown reaction, but it appears you may need medication.

Also, 
Why is there always that one REALLY dedicated anti-american guy? He will show up and say something hatefull in the comments on ANY website, regardless of the content of that website. Seriously, what kind of psycho mind jumps to killing off an entire country's population when they see photos of people playing around on a waterfall? It's like you're taking a colorfull rorshach test, and you've raised the biggest red flag in the history of psychological investigation. Do you hate Americans because you think we are too violent? If you generalize a people like that then your world view is certainly narrower than ours, and if you recomend that people "put a bullet in your kids' heads then one in yours" well, I just don't think you get to call us violent hate-mongers anymore. Sorry. Your privilages have been revoked.

You see, bob, when you mindlessly bash everyone in an entire country you prove to be just as ignorant (wow, the word used correctly) and intolerant as the Americans that you "hate'. 
 
I welcome the consistent America bashing by people like you. It makes us look better because you're basically downing yourself by showing complete intolerance for an entire country of just over three hundred million. 
 
Good show. You're right, every last one of us are greedy, arrogant, bastards that support their government's military strong arm.

Sorry about Bob. He is my fault I never should have breed with that wanker, my father. You know us Europeons tend to inbreed in order to ensure no one steals our money. The other problem is I let he/she (what ever gender he/she decided to be today) eat to many tasty paint chips. Sorry again, I think my uncle wants something.

In other news, that would be a pretty amazing experience. Victoria Falls must be a total hot-spot for thrill seekers.

Excuse me but you don't have to be brave to do that. You have to be incredibly brace to risk going to Zimbabwe at the moment and being white! Compared to getting through that lot, diving off the edge of these falls would be safer!

I've heard plenty more ignorant bullshit come from Americans. Christians in particular. Hell, here's a nice little quote for you. 
 
"A woman wants to abort a rape child? She should have thought of that before she walked down that dark alley without a male prescence, not to mention she should have thought before putting on revealing attire. 
 
[Yes. It should (be legal). Otherwise you're screwing over the women who don't deserve their fate.] 
 
Are you calling them victims now? Should've stayed in the house where it's safe." 
 
And I am American by the way, not all Americans are stereotypical.

@bob, hey ass hole, why don't you take one and shove it? I'm tired of you Stereo typist Bastards thinking that all Americans Are a bunch of brain dead morons. I would have to agree with the fact that Some, even a large amount, of Americans are pretty dumb, but to stereotype a whole civilization just because some of us are ignorant? I don't think so. Oh yea and by the way, the falls are still an impressive height, And wading in STILL MOVING water inches from the edge would be to much for you pussy ass.
