A stroll across this transparent crossing might seem a bit too freaky for most adventurers, but the each glass plate is 24 millimeters (.94 inches) thick, which is said to be 25 times stronger than normal glass. This makes the bridge resistant to a bevy of natural elements, and able to support the weight of 800 visitors at a time. As you can see from the photos, it's quite popular among thrill-seekers but some people may need a little convincing!
