Terrifying Glass Skywalk on the Side of Tianmen Mountain !

[Jazzy]

Jutting out from a sheer cliff 1,430 meters high, the glass skywalk in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park offers sightseers terrifying thrills and clear view of the mountains below as they tread nervously across the 60 meter long bridge encircling the vertical cliffs of Tianmen Mountain in Hunan province.



The 3ft-wide, 2.5in thick glass walkway is so scary that sightseers are requested to wear cloth slip-ons over their shoes when they cross the skywalk, presumably to make the job easier for the cleaners.

Are you brave enough to walk this glass skywalk?

 

[Evil Eye]

Yes... That's awesome. I wanna try.

That glass isn't that thick. I'd be fine as long as I didn't look down and wore a parachute!

What's the point if you aren't going to look down?

There's a nice view without having to look down. If I looked down, I would get dizzy and pass out.

Well yes, but there're also walkways not made out of glass...

All I can say is NOPENOPENOPE.
