To everyone's surprise, they survived with only minor scratches on their bodies. The police have launched an investigation in connection with the matter.

In a video making rounds on social media, we see two women taking a ride on a swing placed on the edge of a cliff. They seated themselves and a man pushed the swing from behind. Initially, they seemed to be enjoying the ride. But soon, a horrific incident followed. The chains of the swing snapped and they fell from a height of 6,000-ft. Reportedly, they landed on a narrow decking platform under the edge of the cliff and escaped severe injuries. The incident happened in Sulak Canyon, the Russian Republic of Dagestan.

A source in the law enforcement said to Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper, "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." According to The Ministry of Tourism in Dagestan, the swing did not meet safety standards. Therefore, the women fell. Reports state that the law enforcement agencies are 'already conducting relevant checks to ensure that nothing threatens lives and health.'

In a similar incident that took place earlier this year in Austria, a woman fell from a 650-ft cliff of Falkert Mountain after she gave the nod to her partner's marriage proposal. However, she landed on the snow and suffered a concussion, being spared of any serious injury. Read more here.
