Photos from 2013, from which the palms sweat and the stomach shrinks treacherously.

Thrill-seekers passing over the abyss on a tightrope or flying over it on a motorcycle, thunderclouds reminiscent of pictures of the apocalypse - at one glance at such photographs, the heart stops and the soul sinks into the heels.

We present the best shots of events on the verge of admiration and fear, from the realization of the reality of which the head is spinning. But be warned: if you are at work, you will have to restrain your emotions, because there will be a lot of them.
