How to swim at the top of Victoria Falls (without killing yourself)

The video above shows a couple of guys having a blast, inches away from certain death. They're at Devil's Pool, a little known natural rock inlet at the very top of Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe.

Here's what Virgin Media had to say about the experience:

Life on the edge swim; ... a small jump (what felt like the leap of death) lands you in a small rock pool at the edge of the Falls. As you stand this close to such raw, natural beauty, you can barely hear yourself screaming above the sound of the water rushing down while adrenalin pumps through your body turning it into a shaking, excitable mess. You realize why the not-eating-before-swimming rule has always stuck.
