      I think they made it out of glass, or some kind of see through metal.

      Well, some glass is actually quite strong. You can use it just like any other material, without it being as brittle as the stuff in your windows. It's just a bit more expensive, generally.

    The architects and engineers who designed and built this glass-bottom bridge had to make sure the perfect safety of this bridge before they let the visitors/tourists walk on it. The company that was responsible for building this bridge doesn't want to be sued if something happens to the bridge that causes injuries or deaths to visitors. Better safe than sorry.

    Maybe a see through observatory, or portholes along the way, but to make the entire surface out of glass does not seem sustainable. It will require constant cleaning and polishing. Also glass very brittle and you can only make so flexible. . .
