A tourist was left clinging on for dear life after the glass panels of a 330-ft high bridge in China were damaged in strong winds.
The glass-bottomed bridge is located at a resort built into the Piyan Mountain in the Chinese city of Longjing.
A terrifying image purportedly shows a man clinging onto the railing after winds of up to 90mph blew away some of the glass panels on Friday.
A photo of the stranded tourist was initially shared to the country's Weibo social media platform, where it amassed more than four million views.
According to a report in the Straits Times, the man was stuck on the bridge for a brief period.
He crawled to safety, guided by firefighters, police, and forestry and tourism workers.

This is one of these guys who goes where angels fear to tread.
Probably not a good time to be on that. I’ve seen pics of it.
Why didn’t they close the bridge during such high winds?
The whole county is “Made in China”.
I’m sure stuff like this happens daily.
I guess the meme of “Chinese bioweapon” for COVID is reaching uncomfortable levels, so they’re laying the groundwork for “incompetence and lab accident” instead.
Same type of person who runs to the beach when there's a tsunami warning.
Where is the danglage? I see no danglage.
I’ll venture to guess those glass panels were made in China.
I wouldn’t go on the Brooklyn Bridge in 90 mph winds...
Bait and switch. “Dangling” in the headline, “clinging” in the story.
Remember this is China
The govt mandate was:
bridge open 9-5 weekdays and 11-4 on weekdays,
who wants to undergo forcible organ donation for not following the rules ?
You can look on YouTube for videos showing how some of the Chinese glass bridges have special panels that appear and sound like they are breaking as someone walks on them. Great jokesters the Chinese.

China has another glass bottomed deck that is specifically designed yo “create the illusion of cracking” to thrill tourists,
Running to a hill top when there is a Tsunami warning is more my speed.
No lie there.
I’ll stay off it when it’s sunny and calm.
With this kind of bad publicity in the international news, do you think that the person that allowed this man to be photographed in this position is going to walk away with both kidneys?
The Chinese love their glass bottomed pedestrian bridges.... the one at Zhangjiajie is amazing.... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-50230971
The Chinese a a funny warped sense of humor.
