7Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Each year a tourist falls and dies at Victoria Falls. Located between the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls drops 355 feet onto sharp rocks. Most fatalities are caused by loss of footing near the falls; however, some deaths are due to swimming.

Tourists stare death in the face every time they swim in Devil’s Pool at Victoria Falls. The pool allows visitors to swim dangerously close to the waterfall’s edge. In 2009, a tour guide plunged to his death after rescuing a tourist who was struggling in the pool.
