A tourist who climbed onto a bungee jumping platform at the Sulak Canyon in Dagestan, Russia, changed her mind at the last moment and screamed, begging the instructors not to throw her into the abyss. Footage shows the woman strapped into a harness, holding onto the railing and stepping backward while shouting, "Please, don't do this" and "Don't throw me." The instructors ignored her pleas, dragged her by force to the edge of the platform, bent her leg, and pushed her off. According to the news site "Caucasian Knot," after the jump the tourist could not speak, her arms and legs weakened, and her reflexes disappeared. Doctors diagnosed her with a spinal cord injury.
