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 have parasailed on the end of a 500 ft tether and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would not go near this walkway in a lifetime of heartbeats.

From a different part of the walkway I would assume.

What did the man who jumped off the Empire State building say as he passed the 40th floor?

"So far, so good."

That was my question too. I assume that the high rock is just the top of a deep gorge. Much like the Grand Canyon.

You can put me on a plane. You can put me on a plane and then do aerobatics. But whatever you do, do not put me on a ledge. I know a 747 pilot who is the same way.

Given how many Chinese bridges and buildings have collapsed, I wouldn’t trust it.

That is scary. I thought that the one here in AZ was bad.

The fear of heights is actually the fear of going momentarily insane in throwing one’s self over the precipice.

You are SO right.

Who laid the framework for this. I hope they were paid a fortune.
