A glass bridge high on a mountainside in China is made to look like it is shattering as you walk across it, but it could also really shatter.

Videos of people trying to cross the bridge as it appears to crack under their feet have outraged Chinese social media users, who feel it is an insensitive gimmick that can lead to a heart attack. The bridge also supposedly has broken shards wedged between layers of glass to further spook people as they make their way across in fear, Mashable reported.
