These people are morons. Somewhere in Zimbabwe there is a waterfall called Victoria Falls. There is a very small area of this waterfall that twice each year will calm down to the point that you can swim in it without being swept off the edge (how long this lasts I don’t know). And the kicker is that the waterfall is several hundred feet high. Amazingly, people actually swim in the waterfall each year, which has made the spot a local tourist attraction. Seriously, there are no words that could do justice to the stupidity seen below. So just check out the pics for yourself. Jackasses swimming on the edge of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe

Well, they didn't die so you could say the slight risk of death is worth the experience of doing it. I think I'd do it if I ever visited there. Anyway, I think you ought to have a good picture show just how high up Victoria Falls goes; you can't really see the bottom in those images because of the mist.

There's no stupidity involved. It's quite obvious that it's safe.

Damn, I did a double take at that one woman lying on her back. That's crazy! I don't know if I could do that.

The man with the camera is basically asking 'Push me off!' by leaning over the edge that far.

It's essentially a pool with an edge that just happens to be a few hundred feet high. As long as you aren't a complete fool, you'd be fine.
I'd love to go there, personally. If I had the money.
