22-year-old Erin Laung Worth was forced to swim through the rapids with her feet still tied together after she fell from the Victoria Falls bridge, 111-metres above the water, on New Year's Eve. "I landed with my legs tied and then had to swim to the Zimbabwe side [of the river] through the rapids," Ms Worth told Nine News in an exclusive interview.
"It was quite scary because a couple of times the rope actually got caught on some rocks or debris," she said.
"I actually had to swim down and yank the bungee cord out of whatever it was caught on to make it to the surface."
Southern Province police commissioner Brenda Muntemba told the Post
Zambia that Ms Worth was treated at Victoria Falls clinic in Zimbabwe
before being evacuated to South Africa.
The jump was organised by a company called Safari Par Excellency.
