WATCH: Two women fall off a 1,900m cliff swing over a canyon in Russia
Updated | By East Coast Radio
Imagine going to visit a swing attraction that is located over a cliff, that allows you to experience beautiful views, without any safety restraints...
We are all about traveling, experiencing, and the like, but when it comes to safety, it's important to note that without safety, we wouldn't recommend trying out things that seem super fun but super dangerous.
Vic Naidoo has been to many places in the world, experienced thrills, and as much as he loves a good view, this is pushing the limits, literally!
Let's strike this off the bucket list, if it even was there in the first place. But if you are a thrill seeker, then perhaps you can carry your own safety harness...
We are not advocating anything but at the same time, when you decide to engage in any activity, make sure to take a step back and pause for a minute, think about being prepared for the worst.
This doesn't mean we're saying don't do it, but rather be prepared for anything. One of the key things about learning from every experience is making sure to think through things. Now these women and the man pushing them, clearly didn't assess the safety and security of the swing before going on it.

"The women got scared and sustained scratches, but neither of them suffered serious injuries. It is chilling to imagine what could have happened if they slipped when the swings were at a maximum height,” Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper quoted a source in the law enforcement as saying.
"The Ministry of Tourism in Dagestan said the swing 'did not meet safety standards because of which the women fell'. According to reports, law enforcement agencies are 'already conducting relevant checks to ensure that nothing threatens lives and health'." (India Today)
