China just opened the world's longest glass-bottom suspension bridge - and it looks petrifying
If the height and swinging cables don't get to you, the transparent bottom almost certainly will.
At 984 feet long, the Haohan Bridge - better known as the "Brave Men's Bridge" - is the longest glass-bottom bridge in the world.
And it just opened to the public.

But don't fear the worst: The glass is 25 times stronger and 12 times thicker than the normal glass used in home windows.

If you're interested in going even higher than the Brave Men's Bridge, there's a glass walkway in Zhangjiajie that sits 4,700 feet above the ground.
Or take a visit to the Grand Canyon Skywalk, a glass-bottomed U-shaped observation deck that sticks out over the rock face 720 feet above the canyon floor.
If glass bottoms aren't your thing, you could still get the death-defying feel by venturing to the Titlis Cliff Walk in the Swiss Alps.
