The longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world has opened in Russia, with a 1,800-foot span. It offers breathtaking views of the Sochi landscape but it isn't really designed for your daily commute—it is part of a skypark 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.
There are several different points on the bridge from which you can bungee.
