Bungee Jumps at Victoria Falls Suspended After Tourist Plunged into Zambezi River
12th January 2012
On New Year’s Eve, 22-year-old Australian Erin Langworthy jumped from the Victoria Falls bridge and fell headfirst into the Zambezi River, 364 feet below.
The accident was caught on video and Ms Langworthy is seen hitting the water with her feet still tied before being swept towards rapids on the river, which separates Zambia and Zimbabwe.
She managed to avoid any crocodiles and swim to the Zimbabwe side of the river, where she hauled herself out.
Will she take the hint? Only time will tell. (Gotta love Australians, but, I mean, damn….)
