If you’re afraid of heights, then the thought of a glass walkway suspended 3,500ft up a mountain in China probably made you a bit queasy.
We can’t even get up a pair of ladders without freaking out, never-mind a glorified set of windows bodged onto the side of a cliff.
But just when Chinese tourists thought it was safe to go and explore this nauseous sky walkway in the Yuntai Mountain Geological Park, in China’s in Henan Province, the bloody thing started cracking and people understandably lost their sh*t.
Tourist Lee Dong Hai posted on the social media site Weibo: “I was almost at the end and suddenly I heard a sound. My foot shook a little. I looked down and I saw that there was a crack in the floor.”

Hai continued: “A lot of people started to scream. I screamed out, ‘It cracked! It really cracked!’ and then I pushed the people in front of me so that we could run out of the way.”
The Yuntai Mountain tourism board said only one of the three layers of glass had cracked, but the walkway was closed until further notice.
Now if you think we’re going to get on this other glass walkway, you’re having a laugh…
