The longest glass-bottom bridge in the world has opened to tourists – but would you dare?

And the new bridge isn’t even the scariest in the world.

 

 

The newly constructed Bach Long glass bridge in Moc Chau district in Vietnam’s Son La province on April 29, 2022.

I’m not certain I could walk across that bridge even if it had a “solid” bottom.

no f@#$ing way.  Not enough money for me to cross that bridge just because it's there.  

I have enough trouble crossing regular bridges.

I'd be the guy jumping up and down in the middle.

[Batesmotel]

That would be a rush.

I've never been on a glass bottom bridge. I've been to the CN tower in Toronto, Canada. It has a glass floor observation level in the tower that is over 1200 feet straight down onto pavement. It is a strange feeling looking in between your feet and seeing nothing but 1200 feet of air and tiny people below you. I think I could do it, but it would give me a healthy amount of fear for sure.

They don't stay really clear and easy to see through for very long.

a lot of places like this will require you to wear clean booties or some other type of covering over your shoes to prevent damaging the glass of the bridge.

Eh, not drawn to bridges per se unless I have a legit reason to cross them. Certainly wouldn’t travel to that one simply because it has a glass bottom. Folks are strange...
