Yes,when I walked on it, I frightened that the glass would be broken though I didn't have acrophobia.

Wow!! You went on this glass platform ? I've only seen videos of people being frightened out of their minds while walking on glass platforms - was it that scary?? I used to never be afraid of heights, but now that I am older, I do feel it. I know what it feels like to hike in places that are too high for my taste . . . I can only imagine how I would be if I walked on that. I mean, I would do it if given the opportunity, but I can't know my reaction until I am there. Interesting this is in your hometown! Would you do it again ?

@DeborahDiane Yes, even though I amn't scared of heights, I felt a bit nervous when I walked on it not long before.I reckon it is psychological.

@changjiangzhibin89 - I'm sure it is safe, but I have walked on a few glass floors in buildings and found that they make me nervous. I don't think I would be able to step out on a glass platform. It would terrify me!

That would be one of my worst nightmares. I do not like these type of bridges and places I would end up looking like a fool as I would be terribly frightened of heights and would be like the people they show on the internet crying because of the height! I am pleased you have done it well done you!
