And that is why you will never see me on one of those glass bridges:

My only problem with this bridge would be that it's designed and manufactured by the same country that gave us the man-eating escalators just a few years ago, rockets that become uncontrollable with no-one having a clue where they will land, and the worlds most deadly pandemic since WW1.

What would be more surprising would be if the bridge did NOT crack and break as people walked across it.

Several pieces of the glass floor were blown away by winds that reached up to 150km/h (90mph).

Who in their right mind would take a stroll on any bridge, much less a glass floored bridge, during 150km/h winds?

What I was thinking. I wouldn't even get out of the door.
