Glass Walkway Cracks Under Tourists' Feet in China

A section of a new glass-bottomed walkway at Yuntai Mountain Geological Park in Henan Province, China, cracked Monday afternoon, causing the tourists on it to understandably freak out. Lee Dong Hai, a tourist who was on the walkway, posted on the social media site Weibo: “I was almost at the end and suddenly I heard a sound. My foot shook a little. I looked down and I saw that there was a crack in the floor." The walkway is suspended at a height of about 1,080 meters, or 3,543 feet. A spokesperson for the Yuntai Mountain tourism bureau told People's Daily Online that the cracks occurred after a tourist dropped a stainless steel mug on the walkway.

So much hype for the hooplah created around $69Mn glass bridge tested with 2Tn SUV and hammers!

Ummm, dropping a mug on it cracked it and they think this is safe?

Well of course it cracked. You can't just be dropping coffee cups on the thing. They're not built to withstand that kind of abuse!
