But you won't find the word 'fear' in daredevil Elena Kazachenko's Russian dictionary. This is the incredible moment the 23-year-old, from Vladivostok, made that very jump.

Bungee jumping is not my only hobby - I also enjoy snowboarding, cliff diving and slack lining [balancing on a nylon wire between two tethered points] but this was by far my favourite moment. 'The pylon was definitely in use when I jumped, but I don't worry too much about the safety aspect. That's all part of the thrill. I believe the tower is around 100 metres high and I was freefalling for over four seconds. You need to do it yourself to really understand the feeling. Inside you have a feeling of absolute freedom mixed with adrenaline and fear, while outside a strong stream of air envelopes your whole body while the wind roars against your ears.
