Russian model Victoria Odintcova had a one-of-a-kind photo taken of her in Dubai recently, and it could've very easily been the last photo ever taken of her.

In the shot, the 23-year-old grips a male assistant's arm as he holds her off a beam on the top of the Cayan Tower, 1,000 feet above the ground without any safety ropes. The caption reads, "I still can't believe I did it" and confesses to getting sweaty palms whenever she watches the video of her death-defying pose.

Others aren't as excited by the stunt and have chastised her in the comments, writing things like, "It seems like you need some professional help for your personal problems. Otherwise no normal person would even do that with no security precaution or even an simple steel rope to erase after photoshop. Well there are more reasonable ways for adrenaline boost."

The risky business has certainly helped Viki's popularity. She now has 4.8 million followers on Instagram.
