Achieved the same same SHOT? Yes. Achieved the same RESULT (including the level of viewership and discussion on social media and discussion boards such as this one) using safer practices? Doubtful.

Schrödinger’s cat of a modeling stunt. Either Watch Model dangle off a skyscraper for a photo shoot, or Watch model plunge to her death for PR stunt.

You’d think the last 1000 years of Russian history would have provided some sort of evolutionary pressure in a more survival-oriented way, but maybe not.

Lots of nopes, but my brain first said, “oh, how nice, if she fell in she would only fall four stori—oh, never mind, she’d just die sooner.”

At least she wore sensible shoes. First I thought she’d wear high heels like women often are expected to do in ridiculous situations.

It’s Dubai, you have quaint notions about Occupational health and safety standards existing in a place that’s built by something akin to slave labor.

That guy was pretty strong. I have never held a person up with one arm, but supporting 100+ pounds with one arm while balancing on a structural beam seems like it would be hard to do.

Also, they are both out of their minds.

I’ve got an act that can top that…

…but I can only do it once.

I find it much more frightening to watch other people near a ledge than to be on one myself. I can control what I’m doing, but I can never be completely sure that someone else isn’t going to do something foolish. If my wife gets within three feet of a precipice, I start freaking out.

Meh.

Once you get above a few dozen metres, more height doesn’t matter. You’re just as dead either way.

Looks like fun, though.
