Model dangles off a skyscraper like it's NBD for death-defying Instagram photoshoot
Whatever you do, do not try this at home. Seriously.
Instagram model Viktoria Odintsova diced with death by dangling off the edge of the 1,000-foot-tall Cayan Tower in Dubai to pose for a photo.
Odintsova, 22, clung to an assistant's hand as she dangled from the 73-storey high building, which was the world's tallest building in 2013. It also appears the model was not wearing a safety harness to prevent her from falling.
The model posted a video of the terrifying shoot on her Instagram page, which now gained over 350,000 views. And, it's safe to say that viewers are not impressed by her stunt.
"Stupidity at its finest," writes one commenter. "Speechless by the amount of stupidity. No apparent safety equipment or precautions. If this becomes a trend I really will lose faith in humanity," writes another commenter.
Terrifying.
