Hanging out in Zimbabwe
Samta Jain of Villa Park swings out over the Zambezi River on a trip through Zimbabwe.
At the Victoria Falls attraction, jumpers pay $100, wrap the harness around their waist and legs and plunge into the 225-foot-high gorge.
The jumper chooses from among various positions: This head-first jump is called “Superman.”
Jain said the attraction, dubbed the “Gorge Swing,” gently sways thrill-seekers out over the gorge, unlike similar bungee rides that bounce the participant at the end of the cord.
Her sister, Mamta, took this shot during their September backpacking trip.
