So many colors to choose from yet so few stand out

I wouldn't necessarily want to walk over this or, drive over it but, I can just see riding a motorcycle over it in wet weather.   coolsmiley   Think about it.   I don't believe this bridge is or was meant for traffic other than walking traffic but, glass, water and tires don't tend to steer or stop well when in contact with each other.

The question isn't whether or not I could make myself step onto the glass.   I've repelled, flown helicopters and jumped out of perfectly good aircraft.    The reason I initially started this thread was because I noticed someone drove a vehicle over the glass and I thought about what it would be like in wet weather.    I don't believe I'd like driving or riding over a glass surface.

But, I will state that, I would not pay good money to walk across that bridge.   Personally, I think it's a silly idea.

I agree, silly indeed.  I would think glass is more expensive than concrete and steel?

Glass when wet is no good either am sure.

Am sure is similar to ice fishing where cars drive over 10-12" of ice no problems?  Instead of ice road truckers TV show you got glass road truckers TV show?
