Walking on a glass walkway suspended 3,280 feet (1,000 meters) up a mountain is supposed to be terrifying — but not this terrifying.
Just two weeks after it opened to a nervous public, a walkway in China’s central Henan province was evacuated after cracks appeared.
Reports describe visitors running and screaming in panic as they saw the damage on the U-shaped path at Yuntaishan (Yuntai Mountain) Scenic Park.
“Just witnessed a historic moment — Yuntaishan’s glass walkway is broken,” wrote one user on Weibo (China’s micro-blogging site.)

If glass is a suitable material for such a critical walkway, perhaps we should make cars out of it?

People who walk on glass bridge should not wear stone shoes.

That sounds like a safe way to evacuate.
