It seems as though the pusher was not able to keep a direct, back-and-forth pendulum momentum and the swing started to swerve.
This is the terrifying moment two women plunged off the top of a 6,300ft cliff in Russia while playing on a swing that overhangs the precipice.
A gut-wrenching video shows the moment that the pair were thrown from the swing at the top of a 6,300-foot canyon.
A heart-stopping video of the incident has been circulating on social media.
Thankfully, the ladies landed on a narrow platform under the edge of the cliff, saving them from a more detrimental circumstance.
The Ministry of Tourism in Dagestan said the swing 'did not meet safety standards'.
