These women were on a swing on the side of a cliff that's 6,300 ft high. The women fall off the swing and everyone is freaking out. I would be too! That was terrifying. Turns out there's a little ledge under the edge and they landed on that. But can you imagine if the swing was at full height or moving faster, how much worse it could have been. NDTV had the scoop on this story and their news report said the following:
Two women escaped with minor injuries after falling off a swing perched on the edge of a 6,300-foot cliff in Russia. They were taking a ride on the swing over Sulak Canyon, located in the Russian Republic of Dagestan, when one of its chains snapped and sent them hurtling off the cliff edge, reports Daily Mail. Luckily, a small wooden platform located just beyond the cliff edge broke their fall and very possibly saved their lives. The two women escaped with only minor scratches, though they were left shaken by the incident.
A source in law enforcement told the Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper: "The women got scared and sustained scratches, but neither of them suffered serious injuries."
