Was This a Good Idea?

So…this humungous boulder falls on the glass skywalk, and watch out below!

I couldn’t find out where this thing happened; but what really puzzles me is how anybody ever thought it’d be a swell idea to tack this glass walkway to the side of a sheer cliff. Are people getting more daft by the day?

There are more than enough ways for death to overtake you, without inventing new and exotic ones.

  1. People like scenic views — and mostly they haven’t learned any physics so they don’t understand things like stress, cantilevering, equilibrium, etc. And really, they shouldn’t have to. The engineers who design these structures are supposed to be “experts.” (Note scare quotes. Today’s “experts” tend not to have much expertise at anything but credentialing themselves.)

  2. Many people like being scared by horror movies, and this video is very scary to watch.
