Woman caught on camera dangling off high-rise resort balcony for photo

Footage has emerged of a young woman dangling from the 11th-floor balcony of a Sunshine Coast resort for a nail-biting photo opp.

The footage was captured by a person named James who was staying in a nearby hotel and was obtained by 9 News.

The video shows the woman clinging to the railing of a balcony on the 11th floor of Mooloolaba’s Seaview Resort with her body dangling off the edge while another person takes a photo.

“I thought one slip and she’s gone,” James told 9 News.

“Next photo might have been her on the ground.”

Once the photo shoot wrapped up, the woman was seen struggling to pull herself back up over the ledge to safety.

According to 9 News, Queensland police said she and her photographer could end up in court.

“I cannot impress how foolish this behaviour is,” Superintendent Craig Hawkins said.

“These are people that can and should be put before a magistrate.”

Mooloolaba’s Seaview Resort has declined Travel Weekly’s request for comment.
