The epitome of STUPID or MADE IN CHINA.
Yahoo News – by Debbie Encalada
Chinese tourist attraction open to the public just over two weeks has already had its first major mishap in that it managed to almost kill tourists. The glass skywalk suspended 3,450 ft in the air on the side of China’s Yuntai Mountain in the Henan Province cracked causing panic among visitors.
The walkway, which is 853 feet long, reportedly has 223 feet layered with three one-inch-thick glass panes that can reportedly hold 1763 pounds.
A spokesman for the Yuntai Mountain Scenic Spot said the cracks had been caused by a stainless steel mug dropped by a tourist, but explained that only one of the layers of glass had shattered, meaning tourists were safe. Well, as safe as you can be walking on a glass walkway 3,000-plus feet in the air.

Typical chinese “quality”……BWAHAHAHAHA 😎
What’s that running down your pant leg? Whose going to mop that up?
One bank job I was on had the bullet-proof glass that protects the tellers leaning against a wall, waiting to be installed. One of my numb-skull buddies decided that if it could stop a bullet, hitting it with a hammer wouldn’t be a problem. He smacked the wrong side of the glass and broke a huge chunk out of the thing. Apparently it can only stop bullets coming from the outside.
What do you expect from “Half-assed” China?
