I have a friend who did that and he said there is a natural rock wall just a few inches below the water's surface.
Still kinda freaks me out watching that vid.

So, here's more detail on the Devil's Pool at Victoria Falls. Apparently not as dangerous as it seems, with that rock wall at the very edge. Looks to be only 4-5 inches of water cascading over it.

My question is: who was the first Braveheart to try it . . . ?
