Tourists are lured in many ways, and are increasingly popular in lately, games have become on a person’s fear of heights. It is no coincidence that in China, like mushrooms after a summer rain, they grow all kinds of glass bridges and mountain roads, even with the effect cracking glass under the feet of pedestrians.
There is still a swing of fear in the world, mounted on the edge of the roof 22-storey building (Amsterdam), and the most terrible swing over the abyss is not looking at their unofficial status (there is a ban on the part of authorities of the island of Oahu of the Hawaiian archipelago rise to them along Haiku stairs), thousands of tourists invariably attract here, wishing to get an adrenaline rush.
The authorities of Los Angeles also came up with something unusual in this regard: for those who like to tickle their nerves here they set up an attraction Sky Descent or, in English, SkySlide. Everything seems to be very simple – a person is given the opportunity to feel the fall from a 70-story a skyscraper. For this, a tourist at this dizzying height just sits on a glass slide and rolls down on it on viewing platform, which is located a floor below. Takes it just a few seconds, however, as the participants say SkySlide, it feels like you’re falling from this dizzying heights, but because already the heart stops.
Everyone can go down the glass gutter, the thickness of the transparent material is 3.2 centimeters, and this very strong and plastic “glass”, which guarantees everyone even a very difficult person, almost one hundred percent safety. Why is it almost? Yes, because the ride does not guarantee that a person’s heart will not stop from fear, and no one here weakness of heart before sending on such a dangerous “journey” is not check.
Fortunately, there have never been such precedents, but … anything can be, especially since the attraction is still relatively young. True, wanting to tickle their nerves, feeling at the same time indescribable fear and matchless buzz, a great many. And their number day by day, everything is increasing …
