Fortunately, their lives were saved by a small wooden platform that was on the edge of the cliff, preventing a terrible fall.

The girls were only bruised and were dragged to safety by people.

"The two girls sustained scratches, but neither of them was seriously injured," a local official said.

The authorities in Dagestan confirmed that the swing did not meet safety standards, and as a result, the young women fell off the swing seat.

Police are currently investigating the safety of several valley swings that were built near the village of Zopotli, where the accident occurred, many of which do not meet safety international standards.
