I’d be more scared of slipping and falling over the railing than the glass breaking.
I have no fear of the glass. I was thinking the same thing as you. There gonna be a lot of busted hips and cracked skulls lol
Me too
Bro, I don't feel safe unless the rail is above my head lol. For tall people who's bodymass lies above the rails most of the time it's really uncomfortable.
@@ub3rfr3nzy94 for me it's my shoulder blades, I bloody hate low balconies aswell... can we make our own support club?
Been there before, the railings are taller than they might appear
The real danger in this video is the lack of safety glasses.
Also the way dude just kneeled right beside the broken glass.
Fr fr
I know this is a joke but I'm pretty sure the glass of the bridge is safe to shatter/crack.
@@leang8441 Did you not see the shards flying around after a few hits of the hammer?
@@leang8441 "safe to shatter" means it doesn't break into glass shards that can cut you so bad that you bleed out.
It's like tampered glass. It breaks into little bits, which is still sharp enough to damage your eyes or your skin if you lean/stand on it.
When they wear helmets to keep the glass from getting in their hair but don't wear safety glasses to keep the glass getting in their eyes and potentially making them go blind.
You think thats why they wore the helmets? I’ve been wondering for years.
@@dangerzara yeah, what else would it be, that helmet is not gonna save them if they fall off the bridge
@@Extrnal yeah exactly its not for if they slip and fall and bang their skulls against an edge its for glass getting in their hair.
@@dangerzara might be for both
@@Extrnal sure, it could also be used for preventing birds from taking a doo doo on your head if you want.
Has never swung a sledge hammer before that day.
Agreed! A ten year old with a 5 kg sledge would do much more damage, and probably swing more correctly as well.

This glass is bullet resistant!!! That means that it would take at least thousands of blows with that sledgehammer at full human power to make a big enough hole to get a human foot through it... That would require several months or years to accomplish!!! And the best you get is a hole big enough to throw your coffee mug through it... I dont think anyone would do that because you can simply jump off the bridge!!!

very smart choice to wear a hart head instead of safety goggles when smashing onto glas with a sledgy ^^
Those guys know safety alright!
When the glue come apart I don’t wanna hear nothing
Considering that its also held together by glue instead of bolts or something. Yes the smartest of them all.

@@ValidT bolts will most likely damage the glass, the glue they're talking about is not the same as the one found in glue sticks (which is watered down)

Get someone that swings that hammer for a living that won't be out of breath after 3 swings.
It won't make a difference to the statement they're proving. If it can stand 3 blasts from a hammer of that mass period, it can stand humans walking across it.
Ja Z ma man
You're not wrong.
Ja Z not every human swings hammers for a living, especially in China

原來你的腦子裡都是屎。
I thought it was shatter-proof at least
Tsetsi the top layer shattered the other layers didn’t.
There is no such thing as shatter proof glass
If all layers broke like the first one they’ll still hold on to walk on but not to be hit again
Tempered glass shatters in a way where if there is one small shatter, it would shatter along the whole pane, which is why it is so strong.
ok just because it shatters dosnt mean it isnt still being held together
Wasn't this the bridge that was closed down when one person cracked one of the panels of the glass? All they did was drop a phone...
Also, I bet a sharper end of a hammer would do even more damage.
Negative, that is not a true story.

" held together by a glue " it's expected.
@@l__- Heavy Duty glue isn't strong enough😂😂😂Gotta screw it😘
I wouldn't be scared of someone hitting it with a sledgehammer. I would be more worried about the structural supports adjusting slightly over the years, creating stress points unevenly at the corners.
But I don't know shit.
was typing a similar comment.. the underling supports and their sturdiness would be more concerning to me
But wouldn't that apply to every other bridge?
Yeah but the plastic laminate is gonna be flexible enough to not break with the glass
Don't worry. They put a couple pillows down on the ground below so if you fall you'll be safe.
Would be safe still bro just take a water bucket when you cross
when he said glue I immediately thought of those glue sticks at school and I was like wtf.
