Terrifying 4,600ft Glass Walkway Opens In China, And Just Looking At The Pics Will Give You Vertigo

If you’re scared of heights, you’re going to find that this walkway is going to scare you just looking at the photos! You aren’t alone, though, and many people would take one look at this adventure and simply turn the other way. After all, who needs to walk around 5000 feet in the air, anyway, right?

If, however, you are taking one look at this glass option and thinking “How fast can I get there?”, you aren’t alone either. All you have to do is take a look at the photos and see that there are other adventurers that are looking to get in some excellent time in the world of heights. You have to admit that it would make some incredible pictures, there’s no question about that. Can you stomach the heights? That, it seems, is the question that everyone is asking themselves when they look about going on it.

I drove a jeep 2 miles along a narrow path on cliff in Arizona like this. It was more like 1000 ft than 5000 but still scary as hell when I blew a tire there. After that I would wake up in the middle of the night for 2 weeks with visions of me crashing down

A friend of mine was an Air Force photographer. Once he was sitting in a chair with a big camera in his lap, taking pictures out of a side bay door on a transport plane. He leaned out to get a better angle and the camera got caught in the slipstream.

As he was being slower pulled out of the aircraft, he looked down and saw the big red cross painted on a hospital roof. He remembered thinking, “Well that will be a good place to land.”

Then someone behind him grabbed him and pulled him back into the plane.

... Grand Canyon Skywalk Bridge over the Grand Canyon.
*************************************
I was at the GC a few years before that was built.

From the prices you mentioned, it appears that crafty Amerind tribe who owns it has figured another way to fleece tourists.

I have tried to watch that video and can’t make it through. Even videos on You Tube scare me.

Luckily we went on its third day back in 2007. The parking and shuttle fees didn’t exist. Either did the parking lot, shuttle bus, visitor center, or pavement on Diamond Bar Road. What we saved in fees was countered by the extreme abuse our Jetat took through washboard that road was.

We were in Vegas and thought of doing that and when we determined the price, didn’t do it. Instead, we drove our rental vehicle to the bottom of the Grand Canyon near Peach Springs, AZ. Same tribe, different location.
