In fact, if you don't believe it then see it on U choob. (so it must be true)
Glad this chick is OK. She is real lucky... Looks like the cord broke after she'd already slowed a fair bit... Could have been all over for her otherwise.
The reporting (NINE![]()
) around this is so dumb:
- Icy cold water
- Crocodile infested
Errrmmmm, it's the Zambezi... It was like a bath when I was there in mid-November. Oh, and any crocodile infestation means that they have survived the >100 m drop off Vic Falls.
^^then the raging torrent of water and rapids she gets sucked down while her feet are tied together ![]()

[edit] they'll probably make it a new sport now where they attach a shearpin which breaks on a certin amount force and you freefall the rest of the way to the water ![]()

Been there and gone down the rapids on a bodyboard. All i can tell you is that it is a hell of a long way down from that bridge and the rapids are grade 4-5 most of the way down. Very very lucky girl!
