It offers breathtaking views of the Sochi landscape but it isn't really designed for your daily commute—it is part of a [URL="http://www.ajhackett.com/sochi/"]skypark[/URL] and you can bungee jump off it for a 650-foot drop, as shown in this video. Eight 52mm cables hold the bridge and the bungee platform in place and can take over 300 tonnes per cable.

Reminds me a little bit of Goldeneye for some reason.

You couldn't pay me to jump off that shit.
-snip bad reading x 1 (list)-
My palms are already sweaty from the height. Urgggh.
That actually looks pretty fun. Gorgeous view, too.

I see people using it for suicide becoming a serious issue.
knees weak, arms are heavy
I'd do it. I'm fuckin' terrified of heights, but I Bungee jumped before as a part of a bet, and after first jump I realized that they wouldn't let anyone do it if it wasn't damn near completely safe, so there's no real reason not to.
I jumped from one local bridge, but it looks like a pygmy compared to this one. Still dream to try parachuting one day.
I really hope it gets used in a Bond film. Hell, I'll even be happy to see it in a [I]Taken[/I] sequel.
Holy balls, I couldn't jump off of that, I have problems with ladders. [QUOTE=Monkey san;45525800]knees weak, arms are heavy[/QUOTE] On the surface he looks calm spaghetti
Imagine shitting liquid diarrhea while falling, and it just BLASTS out all down your back. That's what would happen to me if I jumped, so I just will stick to watching people do it.
[QUOTE=Grimhound;45525796]I see people using it for suicide becoming a serious issue.[/QUOTE] Why? It's not like people are rushing to the existing bungee jump bridges just to commit suicide. Does this bridge make people [I]want [/I]to commit suicide or something?
Hearing the creaking of the metal in the video NOPE NOPE NOPE
I don't trust Russia to build anything after the winter olympics
