  • THAT IS NUCKING FUTS!!!!!!!

  • He will not fall in there as u see he is black, HE IS STRONG!

  • LOL at some of the comments

    Texting while driving kills 6000 people a year, but people still do it, and think it's okay.

    Victoria Falls claims 1 to 5 lives a year, yet people call you stupid, reckless, and "throwing your life away" for swimming there.

  • @Catchafirefly hm.. not exaclty correct. the chances are not the same because only 1000 (dunno but lets say so) might visit the falls while 2.000.000 text and drive. so the percentage of would be 12/1000 and for the falls 5/1000. or anything like that. I'm pretty sure the people who text and drive are way more.

  • amazing :)

  • kahadlok ra mag swimming ani ui

  • god i'd be scared outta my mind

  • how deep is it..

  • Eventually that rock ledge at the edge of the falls will erode and collapse and anyone in the pool is going to be swept over the falls. That will be really cool to see.

  • no m meteria por miedo a un ataque de panico jajajaja

  • ENDI me envio aqui!

  • 1. I can't swim.

    2. Oh hell no. O.O

  • Chuck norris's bathtub

  • it's a pool. there is a wall preventing you from going over the side. simple physics. there is no risk, unless you intentionally stand up on the edge and jump off. calm down idiots

  • Crazy!

  • simply not worth the risk

  • You could do the ultimate plank here....am I right???

  • That looks so amazing but so scary as well! I think I'd be paranoid of falling off the water fall haha :/

  • If you would rather not be in the pool, but watch the falls plummet down into the Zambezi river from that side, during the dry season, you can find a dry rocky spot, lie on your tummy and watch the water plummet down from the smaller streams. There is more water towards the middle of the falls. I think by October it starts to rain again, usually, so September would be good if there are no freak rains. Watching the falls like that is one of the best memories of my 19 years in Africa.

  • I was there during the dry season but did not know about these pools then (it was drier even than in the clip). Some friends and I were guided by teenage boys who offered to lead us around and we were hopping over rocks with trickles and puddles of water in between - still it was scary (but oh so exhilarating!). It probably looks more daunting on this clip than what it really is, because ) the authorities would not allow it otherwise, and b) in other pictures I've even seen kids in it.

  • You gotta have balls to do that.

  • Oh my God. The fact Im terrified of water AND heights made me feel ill watching this. Amazing though.

  • this is awesome but its idiotic to pla with ur life like that

  • Hell i get scared just by looking at this video.

  • I wonder how the first person to discover this thought. If he just said, "Well, it might look safe... Fuck it," and then just jumped into a god damn waterfall. If there were any ladies there, you bet he got all of them.

  • and i understand what u mean,i guess if thats fun to u or something u enjoy,cool...not for me,it must take some guts to do that.

  • dont sit in front of a tv,i dont even have cable

  • who plays around with their life like its nothing,even if the water is not strong enough to push you.

  • @ideservehell4mysin

    You see, while you may consider swimming in a spectacular pool as treating your life as if it is nothing.

    I consider sitting at home in front of a computer or watching TV all day as treating your life as if it is nothing.

    A disregard for safety, or a life of missed opportunities? the difference is your perception.

  • @lindspiper Those are two extremes, you dont have to risk your life in ways like this to have a fun life thats the point

  • @lindspiper yep 

  • @lindspiper damn, thats deeeep

  • @lindspiper what time of year was it that you shot this video? roughly, i would like to swim there

  • @ideservehell4mysin you only live once...

  • Comment removed

  • @ideservehell4mysin - why would you want to waste your life not taking risks? YE BIG BORE!

  • omg i wanna go there :O i wonder if you can get married there :P

  • @RedentProductions I would say you could. they take boat tours to livingstone island for lunch, and there is also a toilet there on the island.

  • First of all how can you actually believe anything that wiki says? its completely full of shit!! When I go home back to Zimbabwe, Im definitely going bunge jumping and swimming in devils pool! You only live once, so if not why not :)

  • Real stupid fucking thing to do

  • Great video!!! Thanks for the share:)

    Grandma Mary

  • It's not as safe as u might think...

    wiki says "At least one person dies each year at the Devil’s Pool"

  • @961kgb youd best not leave the house then. lots more people die out there than at the devils pool.

  • @lindspiper Well that doesn't really make any sense does it? The ratio of deaths from people going outside is a lot lower than those who jump in Devils pool.

  • @MrJpmoneypants and yet all those who died in the devils pool had also gone outside? coincidence? I think not.......... :)

  • @961kgb

    They probably pushed themselves to close to the edge. It's simple physics of buoyancy. Not enough water to lift you up and carry you over. But I'm sure they prob hung halfway over to show off and look, and ofcourse, their leg which they used as counter weight, was floating to but at some point like a scale they tipped more to one side and fell.. Really a shity way to die. But I hear people get a heart attack and all that stuff, but really they're dead so they can't tell you if true

  • @961kgb You should search more about the falls before saying such thing. In fact, it is known that only one person died and it was by trying to rescue an other person who slipped on a wet rock. So they used that single person to make these statistics, which should be considered as not true. Thank you.

  • @Felix8793 That accident didnt happen at the devils pool either, it was at another part of the falls on the way to livingstone island.

  • I went to Devil's Pool in October 2007. It was hands-down one of the coolest things I did during my month in Africa. It's great to see videos like this showing what it's like. You just need to be a good swimmer and have a bit of guts. I would definitely do it again....

  • I couldn't do this, I would be too frightened of falling off.

  • i did this 2 years ago, easily one if the sickest things i'v ever done , but swimming to the pool is way scarier than being in the pool itself coz you gotta swim through the current of the river right next to the edge of the falls, safer than it looks though, my little brother did it and he was 14

  • (Clavedani) lol

  • NO WAY! I couldn't do it.

  • aren't u afraid to go to africa???? hello??? u can die there! africa is the worst place on earth ! hello??

  • @zorilaz  Are u trying to say that anyone who goes to Africa dies or what? Can u please elaborate why you say that "africa is the worst place on earth"? As a matter of interest what nationality are you? I hope your country is not one of those looking for "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq.

  • @TheWamambo hes just a moron. move along

  • @TheWamambo This is a rather interesting video. It sparks a few thoughts about America and how many personal freedoms people have there and though Africa might have "bad governments", maybe there is a lot more freedom in those countries than in America.  If that falls were on American soil, they would not allow anyone to swim there anytime.

  • Woow!!!Amazing place!I hope to go in the future!:)

  • Whatever you do, don't jump in there if your name's Victoria.

  • @Swiftbollocks hahahahha. got it

  • jesus is coming...

  • as you can see there is something like a stone wall at the edge and the water is just 2 feet high-60 cm .....but I would never go that place.

  • themoviekidownz you die if you fall over the edge

  • is there a strong current there? looks quite frightening, and what happens if you tip over the edge?

  • Just saw this video on the news so I thought I would look it up lol. You guys are crazy!!!

  • @Mustang50turbo88 what news program?

  • @Mustang50turbo88 that's right dude, they do not think in the waves that they make can brake some rocks and die...

  • Wow...that is so awesome! I gotta get in on that, I wish I would have been there with them!

    xoxo

  • I would go but it would be renamed "Poo pool" afterwards

  • how they hell do you you discover such thing? Well hell im just gonna dive right here and hope there is a pool. lol

  • @BigBoofBoof LOL

  • i realllyy dont get how you dont fall off the edge, i mean i know there is a wall but????? :\

  • @PetePatrickFOB the flow of the current is lower from months september to december so its weak and wont push you

  • are you fucking crazy dude?

  • Wow awesome, someone want to try diving here? ^^

  • This is amazing! I love to visit waterfalls and will have to put this on my list!

  • See, this is what people have to remember; All of that fast water, and winds causes erosion. So after a while the rock that the people are using to protect them selves from falling, is going to give out. And falling to your death is one of the worst ways to go, because you know your going to die, but you cant do anything about it......

  • where did they get the name devils pool

  • where is this?

  • @ajedrez234 ? read the video title or the dascription?

    the zambia side of the victoria falls

  • its in Africa

  • ww w.zedstyle.ning.com COME AND JOIN US HERE

  • @Kodemann Then I'd rather not live, than die because of this.

  • this is really scary i wont try it omg

  • It would be funny if the black guy was just playing a nasty joke on the white guy and was tied down and the white guy went over the falls with the black laughing.

  • too close to the edge

  • and how do you get out of it again?

  • this is unbearable. although there is that wall why don't ya easily fall down? im notz scared of high places but this looks so dangerous

  • what will happen if you fall down there?

  • @MissMeriGreis Person Puree!!

  • thats fucken scary

  • I still don't understand how it works, even if the current is low, wouldn't it still push you out the waterfall? it's flowing that way.

  • Two words, flash flood.

  • How deep is the pool? It looks pretty deep from the video.

  • i bet the guy who found this out was soooo happy lol ( thinking hes about to fall off the edge to his death n then realize theres a wall lol)

  • What if the ledge break after a while of erison and hit by suprise on guests it looks scary

  • Smoke a bowl at the edge.

  • did this in the hi season, 2 weeks ago!

  • great 5stars

  • ma son dei deficenti sti qua.. si vede che sono americani!!

  • Damn thats awesome.

  • I went to Victoria Falls when I was 12 years old. My family was in Zambia for a vacation. People talk about how deadly and stupid this is. Clearly they are the stupid one's writeing about something they don't know. Theres a wall at the end of the falls that isn't man made and also it isn't a thin wall. As I remember it (Almost 20 years later) it is actually very thick and the current is hardly there.

  • what would happen if u jumped down owuld u die or just b in paine

  • its a 360 foot tall waterfall. If you went over the edge you would most likely die.

  • ppl who would do that r insane

  • omg thats amazing!!!!! i bet yall were scared as hell!

  • strictly no fergs in this pool

  • How is it you do not fall over the edge? Is there like a wall there or something??

  • Its a natural pool, if you watch the first 10 seconds of the clip, you can see the color difference in the water where the rock ledge is, the water flowing over the top of the ledge is about 5-10cm deep and fairly low current.

  • isnt the current strong??

  • OMG i would never swim there!!!

  • Ha ha, its not man made, ive done it, its a natural structure. The guy in the vid took our pics whilst we held each other over the edge by our feet, damn scary i can tell you.

  • OK you guys are f*cking around....

    Tell me this if you guys know...how do you get there.

  • It is completely real, I would know, Im the guy with the horrible tan-lines in the video :)

    if you want to go and do this, you need to get a flight to Zambia (central Africa), and then get to a town called Livingstone. but you have to do it at around September to January when the Zambezi river is low.

  • And dont forget to go to your doctor before you goto africa! yellow fever, malaria etc ;) its not all fun and games on the dark continent! but totally worth it for those with adventurous spirit :) check out my cliffjump video!

  • thanks for the tips I want to go there it is now part of my bucket list

  • Lindspiper, whatever that means you are just a disgrace to the forum. Which light continent do you come from? Why did u go to the falls in the first place if it was such a hazardous place. Shame on you for your comments a million times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! An you dare even try to locate yourself in the video. F***in racist you are..

  • @MrMkioko ???? do not comment on things you do not understand.

    By calling Africa the dark continent, I was in NOT being racist.

    look up the term on Wikipedia. it has NOTHING to do with the race or colour of the African people, Whom I have a deep respect and admiration for.

    I was encouraging other people to be adventurous and travel outside of their comfort zones. But, you must be careful, Like going to your doctor, to avoid spreading disease.

  • @lindspiper @lindspiper??? So how much darkness did u see in Vic falls? Also remember that Wikipedia is not a credible academic source.

    N-way, for the benefit of doubt, just know referring to Africa as a dark continent is not taken lightly by us Africans (whatever the interpretation) since i have been to all continents and none of them is any better. Its only typical fanatics who live in illusions that they are better off while in actual sense they aren't any better.

  • @MrMkioko

    I understand your point, but I have never heard the term dark contintent used in a racial sense, If anything it illustrates the relatively poor education of the west about the rest of the world as little as century ago. to be quite honest, the darkness was one of the things I enjoyed most in Africa, especially in rural areas because there isnt as much street lighting or city glow, the nightime is so much darker, you can see the stars and really appreciate nature.

  • @lindspiper Ok now i get you and i appreciate that you were looking at the positive point of it. The term is mostly used to belittle Africans; thus the stereotype. Now have you been to Kenya? There is equally much fun like the Masai Mara, Mombasa and much more. I apologize for my earlier abusive remarks...

  • @MrMkioko It was called the dark continent because not a lot was known about it. Would Darkey Continent be better?

  • Totally engineered and manufactured by man.

    Not even the slighest bit dangerous.

  • It is not man made... it's a naturally occurring pool

  • i could do this, but ive seen pics of guys practically standing on the edge or hanging over, forget that. how deep is the pool? around 4-5 feet?

  • well it must be fairly deep, I didnt feel the bottom, and im 6 foot something.

    I had the guys hold me over the edge by my legs, looking straight down :)

  • that mustve been quite a thrill haha...i thought it was shallow because sometimes it looks like their standing in the water, not treading water.

  • Figata! *_*

  • I'm going there during the world cup and I'm nervous already about this.

  • You cant do this in July. water is too high. october - january only.

    Dont worry though, you will get to see her at full thunderous torrential might :)

  • Ah, shoot. I guess I will have to settle for the bungee jump thing then.

  • my new life's dream!!!

  • OMFG

  • One day, the barrier will collapse, bring dozens of tourist down with it

  • @frostseasons please don't say that

  • @TheLittleWorldofGaz Sorry, erosion is a natural process.

  • @frostseasons I know, I just would really like to go in there :P

  • @TheLittleWorldofGaz Yes, it does have an awesome view up there, good luck :)

  • I would do anything to go there. Thats like my dream.

  • gettoking25 the current doesnt take thm over because the is a huge bit of rock stopping thm :) u can see one of the guys sitting oan the edge of it and itz pretty wide :) thtz y people jump in it because the rock is stopping them btw this rock will wear away in about 30000 years +

  • Yeah, don't know if I would have the balls for that.

  • how many people die there a year?

  • howcome the water doesnt take peope down, cuz the current seems pretty strong

  • Because of the big fucking rocks?

    Thought it was a little obvious.

  • Incredible!

  • lol id go inside but ima fuckin drop a brick

  • The Victoria is 1.4.9.3.7.45,000,000,000,000x Better than the Niagara Fallzez combined.

  • What's being combined here?

  • There are two Great big falls here in Niagara Falls.

  • how is that poosible?

  • Like, a few times a year, the waters gets so low, that it's powerful enough to pull you ower the edge, plus what's great, is that there's a little 'hot tub' type crater in the falls..

  • That sounds pretty tight. Have you been down there before?

  • I've never been there, I dont want to, 'cuz I will SHIT myself.

  • haha me too

  • ME,TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • scary !!!! *shivers*

  • See ya.........LOL

    not funny though, these people are craaaaaaaaaaaazy

  • What and can't speak English?

  • dats nice i wna go there wer is dat place...i dnt no cus im from england

  • victoria falls is on the border of zimbabwe and zambia

    The devils pool is on the zambia side of the falls

  • I would be so scared of falling down the waterfall.

  • oh hell i would never try that..

  • I did that a few years back and it was the best thing ever!

  • I SO WANNA DO THAT! :D

  • What an amazing place!

  • youre Fuked if you jump during the wrong season !!

  • Out of season it isnt even possible to get to Livingstone island :) the whole thing is covered in water, and the mist coming out of the gorge is so heavy its like torrential rain.

  • ayy is tat water warm ??

  • the low season is during summer, so yes the water is fine.

  • kay thanks!..^_^

  • holy shit imagine how someone discovered it thinking they were going to die

  • chuck norris probaly discoverd it and he thoought only he could do it so he put a bet on with someone until; chuck norris lost.

  • @alexherrera84

    lol!!!

    maybe the guy was trying to die and failed at that too.......and he ends up finding a wonderful pool to reflect in!!! ahhh

  • holly cow just watching thise video givs me vertigo

  • I did this in late 2006.. although the falls were not as rapid as the video it was a great experience in life
