A mother fell 290ft to her death in front of her son while trying to take a selfie on a tower moments after a successful bungee jump on her 45th birthday.
Elizaveta 'Liza' Gushchina, an extreme sports fanatic, 'slipped and fell' 290ft to her death from the same tower which she made a spectacular high-adrenaline rope jump from just minutes earlier as she celebrated her birthday.
Her distraught son Nikita, 23, was with her at the abandoned boiler tower - now used for daredevil rope jumps - when she fell in Pavlovsk, near Russian city St Petersburg.
'Without safety ropes, she climbed back up, slipped and fell down' - a height of 290ft, reported TV Zvezda, run by the Russian defence ministry.
The mother-of-two had shared footage of her successful leap, which saw her swinging from an 'elastic rope' just above the ground.
