PICS: Longest footbridge in the world opens

Cape Town - If your stomach turns while walking on the new Boomslang in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in Cape Town, you might just faint at the thought of Russia's new addition to the sky walks of the world. 

The world's longest pedestrain suspension bridge is now open to gutsy climbers in the town of Sochi, reports Daily Mail. The SkyBridge, as it is called, stretches for nearly one kilometer over the Krasnaya Polyana valley in south western Russia. 

Supported by an adventure tourism group, AJ Hackett International, the new SkyBridge is like an elevated amusement park for adrenaline junkies.

It sports a bungee jump right in the middle of the bridge, as well as a 152 meter high zip line, called the Trollwire, than can reach speeds of up to 113km/h! 

The SkyBridge structure can hold up to 30 000 sightseers and adventure seekers, easily.
