Glass is more flexible than most folks think.

Beyond that ... if you can get past ogling the girl in Post #1, you’ll notice that the bridge is a steel structure with glass panels for a deck. I wouldn’t want to be on it in a major earthquake, but the glass panels themselves would be the least concern.
