An amusing video of a tourist terrified by a glass walkway above a cliff appearing to crack.

The footage, filmed in Handan City in northern China's Hebei Province on December 8, shows a man walking along the two-metre-wide and 1180-metre-high bridge as its glass bottom deliberately fragments.

The man is scared to slip down and then climbs to hang onto the side rails with his legs lifting up immediately.

According to local news, the authorities deliberately ordered the splintered glass effect on the walkway, thought to be a gimmick to attract tourists.
