Maybe the other side of those shorts expose a coin slot?

Sigh. A 1000 meters above SEA LEVEL.

Doesn’t say how high above the ground itself immediately below the walk way. I’ll hazard to guess it’s MUCH less than a 1000 meters above the ground.

“As I was approaching the end of the passage, I heard a sudden loud ‘bang.’ My legs were shaken. I looked down and saw the pane underneath me had shattered.

Sounds like much more than a "crack" in the glass.

That picture is actually a very nice illustration of the consequences of panic. If it were me, and the glass was cracking under my feet, I think I would have a very tight grasp on the steel cables. In fact, they'd have to send out a goon squad to pry me off of it.

I’ve been on a couple of free- hanging wobbly foot bridges over ravines/ rivers in China. The first was so high, that I couldn’t go more than a few yards. Without my heart in my mouth, so turned back.

The second was lower, but jerk college kids thought it was fun to jump up and down.

If merely dropping a mug shatters it, can you imagine a good hail storm? Never mind humans stomping around. You couldn’t pay me enough.

A non-flexible material used where earth tremors are probably frequent? What could possibly go wrong?
