Height of stupidity! Model dangles off a 1,000ft-high Dubai skyscraper

This is the hair-raising moment a Russian model posed for a death-defying photoshoot on top of one of the world’s tallest skyscrapers. Viki Odintcova, 23, was held up only by the hand of a male assistant as she leaned out into thin air from the 1,004-foot tall Cayan Tower in Dubai in a bid to get the perfect Instagram shot. The model first tilted backwards over the huge drop, before dangling high above the ground from the arm of her helper WITHOUT ANY SAFETY EQUIPMENT. She later admitted that she was a bit nervous before the stunt.
