Lol skipped the beginning and ended at 0:32 i was like "the da fuq is that guy doing?"

[@orphanhope]

Done this twice - it is worth the risk - amazing trip!

[@natethehuman]

I've seen others do this but only with local guides. Pretty brave to do it alone.

[@robertallan4286]

A baby elephant went over here one day...he was never seen again, apart from a small amount of red stain momentarily in the "Boiling Pot" below (from "The Great North Road"). Victoria Falls, still the mightiest experience of my life!!

[@ronniegeorge10]

Awesome.Im hoping to do this later this year.Its called the devils pool.

[@ahmad_sadri]

That is awesome. Scary, but something I'd love to do sometime in my life.

[@kkz201]

i'm in awe, you can literally peer over the falls!

[@bethr2222]

this freaked me out when i first saw it

[@SebPZLDN]

At 0:32 I honestly thought he was going to topple over the edge with the waterfall for a second.

[@slh950]

does he always swim fully clothed? strange

[@mclaren911]

My problem and fear in 1 scene: 1) I can't swim. 2) Fear of heights That man is crazy.

[@excellinkus]

Prof Stewart’s brogue is so thick that have to strain to understand what he’s saying.

[@iSNEEZES]

His cameraman, too.

[@VertellDavis]

Wow! People are brave

[@rommeldude1]

Before watching this video, I knew there was a natural pool near that falls because I have seen it somewhere before..

[@Legendary121]

That man has the balls.

[@iSNEEZES]

Oh god, imagine if he and his film crew accidentally went to the wrong waterfall.

[@MrHobs04]

My heart skipped a beat O.o

[@dzzle]

I thought he wanted to jump down .-. Now i'm kinda disapointed

[@CAGRN1]

This is insane. You have to be crazy to even try that. Its a risk that proves fatal.

[@buizberder]

what? it's still a camera + a cameraman handling it.

[@andrewnorthcut]

So is driving. And flying. And pretty much everything. There is no such thing as risk-free.

[@SuperOdbojkasica]

Brave!

[@footballplayer4eva10]

someones going to jump into the wrong part and go off the edge

[@muhammadabdulaziz8696]

I've just crapped my pants

[@djheckler92]

I don't think the series is gonna last that long... :P

[@Musiclover6404]

hey BBC where can I see the Japan Brazilian special you guys did?

[@ddavisgaming]

There's photos of people doing this just to do it. I'm down

[@riyaponnu8893]

GOOD

[@RosaKwak]

I really wish I could do this :"(

[@willblay9747]

why, just why would u do that

[@gingangooloo9736]

idk

[@leoetine]

I'm looking at 0:32 and I'm wondering, why would you wear a dress shirt, tucked in, with a belt, tight dress pants, and socks before doing something historic in your life?! ...oh wait...maybe he wanted to be dressed up in case they found the body...it would make it easier for the mortuary because they would only need to put on make up since his clothes look good enough for the open casket! No, in all seriousness, I would have wore some Sponge Bob shorts and a T-shirt saying "Jesus, here I come!"

[@Maczust63]

just one piece of drift wood and yea this video wouldn't be on here

[@willehellstrom6120]

it's the tattooes my friend :P

[@Cloudtidus1]

I want to name of the soundtrack!

[@dem2349]

He just jumps in with all his clothes on? lol ok

[@NickWarnerMedia]

THEY GOT ME! its jumping INTO not OFF OF...i see what they did there. bet it gave them a lot of views. gave them mine... oh well still cool

[@freemason6750]

0:45

[@dudewtfsgoingon]

1:15 "poo"

[@slh950]

sorry I don't understand?

[@Freezythree]

Yeah I definitely though I was watching some guy about to die.

[@mathieuprod]

He is not jumping at all, he does like all those stupid tourists on KZbin.

[@linday2009]

omg

[@stoneyjewdas]

No. Fucking. Thank you.

[@leoetine]

LOL! No, actually I did that so that I would hopefully get a comment from you. I succeeded! :oP

[@nealpark]

NOPE.
