and by the way that view over the watery precipice is within arm's reach of the cameraman while still in the (relative) safety of the pool.
And by relative, I mean his survivors.

Richard Bach left out Part Four.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull died trying to escape from the penitentiary, where he was serving a life sentence for pandering and buggery. Yeah, he kinda went downhill after Part Three.

I've actually heard - I'm not sure I believe, but I recall reading - that that bit at the top of Victoria Falls is actually... unbelievably safe. No more likely to sweep you over than an infinity pool. The only current is at the very lip, and not strong enough to normally pull even a weak person or child over.
 They both look terrifying to me, but wouldn't if it were, say, just land, with a lip, and a cliff, without the water. I don't.. like water.

You can see from the picture, and especially the video, that the current at the lip isn't strong, but kids can lurch any which way without any current at all.
Also, while the current may not be strong, you have no idea how strong the lip is, and without the lip, the current could get a bit stronger.

water is heavy. moving water has a lot of momentum. I've stepped in moving water, rivers, streams, beach waves in both directions... it can be treacherous. at the beach I just fall down. in the river I fall down, land on rocks. in that picture, I could fall down and over.. just... no margin for error.

The man at the falls is young enough, he can have more children if he needs to.

Or we could just push his ass over and not worry about those choices in the future.
