does gust to 150 km / h and spectacular images. On Mount Piyan, in northeast China, a glass bridge suspended 100 meters high did not withstand a violent squall, as The Guardian reports. One by one, the glass panels that made up the floor flew away as a man clinging as best he could.
Hanging firmly on one of the side barriers, the man was able, according to local authorities, to wait for the arrival of firefighters, police, forest guards and tourist agents who arrived near him within half an hour. Safe and sound, he still had to be taken to hospital in shock.
Strong emotion among Chinese internet users
Photos of the incident have circulated on Chinese and international social networks. We can see the unfortunate man hanging on the barrier while the floor of the bridge has completely disappeared. On Weibo, a Chinese social network that could be compared to Twitter, the images have been viewed by nearly 6 million Internet users.
Many now wonder about the safety of these glass bridges, very popular tourist attractions in China. The most famous of them, 430 meters long, hangs 300 meters high in Zhangjiajie National Park. In 2015, a glass bridge in the Shiniuzhai Geological Park had to be closed just a few weeks after its inauguration. The simple shock of a steel mug dropped by a tourist had created cracks that did not quickly expand under the weight of the tourists. The area around Mount Piyan has been closed to tourists during the investigation by local authorities.
