It is noted that the hurricane wind, reaching a speed of 145 km / h, tore off several glass panels. At this time, there was a tourist on the bridge who managed to grab the railing.
The man spent about half an hour over the abyss before rescuers helped him.
Glass bridges are a popular tourist attraction in China. For example, the 526-meter long bridge across the Lianjiang River in Guangdong province, which was completed in 2020, was officially recognized by the Guinness Book of Records as the longest glass bridge in the world.
The Zhejiang University Institute of Architectural Design and Research has designed a 4.5 cm thick tempered laminated glass suspension bridge so that it is completely transparent and tourists can see the river, which is 201 meters below the structure.
