Two men walk across Victoria Falls on stretch of rope

VICTORIA FALLS, Zimbabwe (WABC) -- It was a beautiful setting for a breathtaking daredevil act in Africa.

Two men walked across Zimbabwe's famous Victoria Falls on a stretch of rope.

The daredevils are from Europe, and practice a sport known as "slacklining". It is similar to tightrope walking, but involves a loose rope that slouches under the walker's weight.

The men had harnesses designed to catch them in case they fell off.
