Terrifying videos show the moment two women were flung off a swing and sent hurtling off the edge of a 6,300-foot cliff in Russia’s Dagestan region.
The videos, which were filmed in June but have recently been widely shared on social media, show one of the swing’s chains suddenly snapping.
The women then appear to fall off the cliff edge and can be seen tumbling towards the Sulak Canyon, which is about 200 feet deeper than the Grand Canyon, eliciting screams of horror from witnesses.
Miraculously, the women both survived the incident. They landed on a narrow, wooden platform just beyond the cliff edge, according to The Mirror.

Didn’t look like chain snapped…dummy who pushed it got it sideways and it hit the support pole. Lesson #1….don’t swing on a wooden bench swing in Russia with no lap belts over a huge canyon.
They wanted a stupid thrill to tempt fate…they got what they asked for.
I’m pretty sure gravity still works.
