I’d walk across it. Of course, I would have my hand on the rail in an absolute death grip, all the while trying to look casual.

Yes, I was thinking, “...at least there are lots of parts to hold onto, should it start to break up....” HA

We moved right before I went to high school, and I had to walk across an interstate overpass each way, to get to and from school. We lived so close, that I would also go home and come back at lunchtime, too. That pretty much cured me of generalized fear of heights, but the see-through floor on this bridge might defeat me.

That’s not how you do it. They had rope bridges like this in the scouts, back in the day, and the way you did it was to lightly, quickly step across. Going slowly just gave you time to feel the ropes’ movement, and think, and get scared.
