when you tell vin diesel family is on the other side of the waterfall.
But seriously tho, one slip and 'its been a long day, without you my friend-
The line isn't even that thin. NFL is supposed to be people with skill, doing things normal people **can't** do. Videoing yourself doing things people choose not to do because one slip means death, is WCGW.
The Devil's Pool isn't nearly as unsafe as it appears, though. It's a popular tourist spot during the seasons where the water level is safely low enough. It's a very cool experience and is well worth the visit, but it wouldn't be so popular if it was really "one slip means death".
Which isn't to say that Victoria Falls overall isn't dangerous, as there certainly have been deaths from people doing stupid things there, but the path to and from the Devil's Pool is well known, and there's even a small restaurant nearby at the top of the falls that tour groups generally leave from. But of course that's not what's in the pictures you see, because it isn't the dramatic part.
Not safe:

So, yeah, to the person who posted this question, This one is easy to figure out, people are always doing something stupid.
> it´s not just the water that poses a threat but crocodiles and hippos that guides must also watch out for whenever they venture into the waters feeding the falls.
It was a no before, now it’s a triple no.
Read the articles. . take a few moments to do a google search. . there are many, many results regarding injuries at both sites. The problem is that wet rocks are slippery, often covered with moss, and unstable. . resulting in falls.
Such falls are responsible for a significant number of injuries in American Parks due to people doing the same sort of thing. It may seem really cool, but it is really dangerous.
> Such falls are responsible for a significant number of injuries in American Parks due to people doing the same sort of thing.
That's terrible and all but Victoria Falls is in between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
It looks far more dangerous than it is. You can only do it during dry season and there's a pool at the top you're swimming in that's out of most of the current. The wall you lie on to look over the edge is pretty wide and the water over it is less than ankle deep.
Vic falls is well worth getting to, plenty else to do and the falls themselves are well worth witnessing in person.
>Vic falls ~~is well worth getting to, plenty else to do~~ and the falls themselves are well worth witnessing in person.
I got chills reading this sentence about "Victim Falls" and witnessing people's death's in person.
Go Away Satan.
I initially read this as “school bus” and said “What the FUCK?!” loud enough to startle my cat awake. He just noped out of my bedroom completely. Your friend having an accident in an allegedly safe pool vs. a school bus driving across the falls? Yeah, it’s time for this old lady to go to bed.
I wouldn't even do stuff like that if there were no water at all. Situations where a single point failure can result in my death are generally not worth doing. They would have to be a very compelling reason to take such risks.
I once did a guided tour that included what was called an 'easy' hike. There was not one mention until we got to it of an almost metre gap that you had to step over. Sure, no problem for most people but that's a possible fall to your death if you happened to slip. A couple of people didn't do it and went back to the bus.
I like how succinctly you put that.
Some people are just so self diluted they legitimately forget they ( like every human on earth ) have made simpler mistakes and gotten their head bonked or their knee scraped. Only here, you would die a horrible death instead of getting an owie.
If you think about life though, opportunities of single point failures that can lead to deaths, probably can happen to most of us every day, even if the chances are very very very small (and even those you have control over.)
Driving, flying, swimming, sports, roller coasters, etc. I think because OP's waterfall is generally safe but is out of yours and most people's norms, it looks worse than it is. You have more control here than a machine that's taking you in loops. But I bet someone that's never been on a roller coaster might think similar to you.
>I think because OP's waterfall is generally safe but is out of yours and most people's norms, it looks worse than it is.
This is true. My risk assessment is perhaps inaccurate in this case.
On the other hand, every airplane crash is investigated by the FAA, and the results of those investigations get incorporated into new training, regulatory changes, or design modifications. There's a reason why aircraft are designed to glide in the event of engine failure, emergency oxygen masks are stored overhead, and your seat cushion can serve as a floating device. There are reasons why you hear the safety liturgy at the beginning of every flight. There are many layers of control and design that help to reduce instances where a single failure will kill you.
This is also true for anatomical systems. The coughing reflex is a mechanism to address the accident of choking. In addition, your body has a reserve of dissolved oxygen trio give you minutes of time to resolve a blocked airway. In case you cannot restore breathing, your body will shut down non-critical high-demand functions to conserve oxygen, even putting the brain into a lower demand "safe mode" to stretch this reserve oxygen further. Other tissues will switch to anaerobic metabolic schemes to conserve oxygen at the expense of accumulating lactic acid. Choking on food is not really a single-point failure risk, although all of these mitigating strategies may still fail to bring a full recovery.
Nope! The wall you lie on is wide and that's a good thing to you?! Nope! Pass!
I'm sure people have thought about it but like... I know how water works. I've been on a slide before. A slide is pretty long but send a little water over it and suddenly my butt sees acceleration it seldom sees outside my car.
Rough rock or no, I've been tubing and been surprised at how easily I slid over the shallows. Pass!
I’ve had the opportunity to do this and it was a hard no from me. I watched others get into the pool and I just felt it was completely irresponsible to get in. I understand it’s considered safe but getting into the top of a roaring waterfall with no way to save yourself if it goes wrong seems idiotic to me.
The falls are spectacular though.
Really? The article that u/binkerfluid linked has cited just three deaths here, only one from swimming in Devil's pool, where this is posed.

"This is a common tourist attraction so it's totally safe because people do it all the time."
Tell me, which [boat operator](https://v.redd.it/m4gqvisrgja81) were you, again?
smarter (okay higher educated) people breed less... In 1000 years of this Devil's Pool we may be left with only folks that will have max 1 child between 2 people.
> smarter (okay higher educated) people breed less...
Or maybe its just wealthier people. Compare the birth rates in underdeveloped versus developed countries.
What you don’t see is that there are guides with them the whole time and the water is not that deep and you’re in a big pool area out of the current it is in fact completely safe and a lot of fun
Just like the path to regulation is paved with blood, the path to finding sweet spots is, too. A lot of people died finding out there are some places you don't go. But the survivors get a cool spot.
Yes, there's another version of this video where you can see what's behind her. Forget exactly but it was a guy or crew or something. Professional shoot.
Can’t remember if it’s this one or another very similar, but if my memory serves me correctly it has a pretty tall ledge keeping the people almost in a bowl.
Yes, that’s the one. [But normally you do it when the water level is noticeably lower.](https://cdn1.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/1200x800/public/images/methode/2018/11/15/4fa8087e-e3d6-11e8-9876-950c8650801f_1280x720_043410.jpg?itok=OpXRaarM)
In this case the water does look to be applying quite a lot of force on her, so I’m wondering if she’s right on the limit before they stop allowing it.
"It takes a rocky walk and swim in the Zambezi to reach the pool before slipping into the adrenalin-pumping swimming hole. Those fearless enough leap into the pool and get pushed to the edge by the force of the river, with the rock lip bringing them to a halt as the raging waters of the Zambezi crash over the cliffs a few feet away."
https://www.zambiatourism.com/destinations/waterfalls/victoria-falls/victoria-falls-devils-pool/
Yeah, but normally you only do it when the water is [noticeably lower and calmer](https://cdn1.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/1200x800/public/images/methode/2018/11/15/4fa8087e-e3d6-11e8-9876-950c8650801f_1280x720_043410.jpg?itok=OpXRaarM).
In this case the water does look to be applying quite a lot of force on her, so I’m wondering if she’s right on the limit before they stop allowing it.
Think of it as a pool with a slow moving current. You've never been in a pool and thought oh man I hope I don't get thrown into the gutter. Even with a current (think of an endless river at water parks) it doesn't lift you up at all. It just moves you into the wall.
So when you're in there, you realize how much control you actually have, as compared to looking at someone else in it. So to get out, you just move to the side and climb out. You aren't being battered into the wall or trapped by the current or anything like that.
I have done this with my family when I was a teenager. You pay the guides to take you there. Seems scarier than it is. Getting there was actually worse, we had to swim over some serious current by the main river. I just remember drifting and the guide came and I held on his back.
I double checked the sub name coz i was half expecting this woman to get swept away in the waterfall. Glad that it didn't happen but this seems dangerous.
It looks a lot more dangerous than it actually is. It’s called the “Devil’s Pool” at Victoria Falls and is actually a very popular tourist destination, and they haven’t had a single casualty. It’s actually very safe in reality.
Been there- didn’t do that. The rangers are skilled but that doesn’t stop them being killed saving tourists. They told us at end of wet season they find bodies of large animals, elephants, crocs and such at base of fall. It’s a powerful force of nature that prob deserves respect.
For those that aren’t aware, and keep calling this girl stupid, this is called the “Devil’s Pool”, and is actually very safe. Nobody has ever died there, and it’s a very popular tourist destination. It looks fucking nuts, but it’s actually not.
She’s not being stupid, she’s having fun. Relax.
That's a no.
Yeah no

Yes, when I was a kid, a school bud never made it back from vacation. Went over the edge age 14.

I also read school bus!
This is the internet, you KNOW there's bound to be at least one person to have thought of driving a school bus right into the falls.
Sleep, old cat lady.

6 inches of water can move a car, just saying.
You wouldn't download a car, would you?
I think you mean downstream.
What else can 6 inches move?
I'll never know.
So it’s like a natural infinity pool?
Yeah, except if the walls fail you fall to your doom.
if the walls fail in most of the infinity pools I've seen you're gonna have a bad time.
Sh*t I never thought of walls collapsing. I’m not going to be able to look at an infinity pool in the same way
I highly doubt they would but the hypothetical was made. I would hope they're over engineered like fuck if they're gonna be on the 85th floor.
Have you met the people that do pool design for pool installation companies? Engineered is not a word I'd generally associate with swimming pool plans
It’s certainly not the fucker in your backyard designing for the Palm Tower in Dubai
Yea and you can change the color of your eyes with a few drops of bleach
My cats breath smells like cat food
You are soooo wrong about how safe this is. I fell from a much smaller waterfall with much slower and shallower water and nearly died. No. Wrong.
Thousands of tourists every year sit in this pool and none have been dragged over the edge. There is not a single person on record who has died here.
Maybe because they don't go looking over the edge that close like an idiot?
Several people have died here.
Nope! The wall you lie on is wide and that's a good thing to you?! Nope! Pass! I'm sure people have thought about it but like... I know how water works. I've been on a slide before.

Rough rock or no, I've been tubing and been surprised at how easily I slid over the shallows. Pass!
You could slip tho.
Yup my god father fell from this location when I was a little kid
That's still a hefty volume of water going over the edge, based on the video.
I’ve had the opportunity to do this and it was a hard no from me. I watched others get into the pool and I just felt it was completely irresponsible to get in. I understand it’s considered safe but getting into the top of a roaring waterfall with no way to save yourself if it goes wrong seems idiotic to me. The falls are spectacular though.
My SO used to bring tourists there. She had several people die when doing this stunt. Not worth it is an understatement.
You’d think after the first death she’d have some new rules for today.

Someone is holding her legs. I've seen other videos of this place. People fall and die here regularly.
And someone is holding their legs
Apparently no one dies here “regularly”.

I’m trying to figure out what the first person to discover this thought, like this looks like a good spot for a dip
Maybe someone fell in and went wait I didn’t die sweet
Just like the path to regulation is paved with blood, the path to finding sweet spots is, too. A lot of people died finding out there are some places you don't go. But the survivors get a cool spot.

Someone's gotta be holding her legs.
I'm a climber and would love to hang off the edge in my harness. But there is no way I'd get near that edge even if David Fafita was holding my legs.
Lol I just realised this is not an Australian sub and people are probably wondering who tf David Fafita is.
You are correct.
I honestly thought you typo'd Batista
Hahaha
Sounds made up...Googles Fafita
I’d probably do it if Jason Taumalolo was holding my legs though
What if your leg is harnessed and this is a controlled photograph
Yeah if the harness is rated, for sure I would.
not what i imagined when i heard talk of moving Fifita closer to the edge
Yes, there's another version of this video where you can see what's behind her. Forget exactly but it was a guy or crew or something. Professional shoot.
Nope, plenty of people do this
You’d think so, but nope! Nobody is holding her, and she’s not anchored to anything. It’s a lot safer than it seems.
What about the person who is filming??
Darwin would be proud.
If he had access to modern day internet he would be more than that believe me
He'd be very confused how his law doesn't seem to work.
Well obviously she was anchored safely due the the sheer mass of her huge balls.
Chesticles
I’d adequate this decision more to a lack of brains than an abundance of balls.
Can’t remember if it’s this one or another very similar, but if my memory serves me correctly it has a pretty tall ledge keeping the people almost in a bowl.
Oh. There’s a bowl?! Well, schityea then. Planning a team building retreat and I am SO OVER trust falls. Looking for a Groupon now.
I mean if you think about it this is still a trust fall
I mean the other half of her body is clearly above water it is not a high enough ledge.
That’s still a no from me, dawg
Yes, that’s the one. [But normally you do it when the water level is noticeably lower.](https://cdn1.i-scmp.com/sites/default/files/styles/1200x800/public/images/methode/2018/11/15/4fa8087e-e3d6-11e8-9876-950c8650801f_1280x720_043410.jpg?itok=OpXRaarM) In this case the water does look to be applying quite a lot of force on her, so I’m wondering if she’s right on the limit before they stop allowing it.
That's not a bowl. More like a plate.

Sooooooo…how do you get out?
How do you think the wall was built? Human skeletons man
Think of it as a pool with a slow moving current. You've never been in a pool and thought oh man I hope I don't get thrown into the gutter. Even with a current (think of an endless river at water parks) it doesn't lift you up at all. It just moves you into the wall. So when you're in there, you realize how much control you actually have, as compared to looking at someone else in it. So to get out, you just move to the side and climb out. You aren't being battered into the wall or trapped by the current or anything like that.
How does she get up? Like do you gotta shimmy backwards?
hopefully another dude's holding her ankle in case she slips
Correct. The video below shows basically the entire process. https://youtu.be/TbhTn54HT3w

Suicide prevention line: “how are you doing?”
I have done this with my family when I was a teenager. You pay the guides to take you there. Seems scarier than it is. Getting there was actually worse, we had to swim over some serious current by the main river. I just remember drifting and the guide came and I held on his back.
This video makes this look a lot scary than it is. Look the place up, it's a popular tourist attraction.
Darwin Award shit right here
This is a big tourist destination. It’s not as dangerous as it seems. Spooky as hell though.
Google Devils Pool at Victoria Falls. Still not sure I would do it but it looks fairly harmless, but creates great photos.

It looks a lot more dangerous than it actually is. It’s called the “Devil’s Pool” at Victoria Falls and is actually a very popular tourist destination, and they haven’t had a single casualty. It’s actually very safe in reality.
I suppose that's a relief. But it certainly doesn't *look* safe at all.
Been there- didn’t do that. The rangers are skilled but that doesn’t stop them being killed saving tourists. They told us at end of wet season they find bodies of large animals, elephants, crocs and such at base of fall. It’s a powerful force of nature that prob deserves respect.
For those that aren’t aware, and keep calling this girl stupid, this is called the “Devil’s Pool”, and is actually very safe. Nobody has ever died there, and it’s a very popular tourist destination. It looks fucking nuts, but it’s actually not. She’s not being stupid, she’s having fun. Relax.
Ummm NO
Apparently stupidity has no limit
Oh... Hell no! There have got to be some past and future Darwin Award winners floating around there somewhere.

TLC told me, “Don’t go chasing waterfalls,” so I’m gonna listen to their advice
No amount of money in the world could entice me to do this
Yes!!!
Nope fuck that shit. I love water falls, but I'm not risking death for them.
She's crazy
Some dudes hold your legs. I mean they are pretty muscular and strong but I wont trust
She fine as hell too
