The 68 Most Bizarre And Perilous Bridges
The 68 Most Bizarre And Perilous Bridges | WebUrbanist: "From deep in the jungle to high above the sharp mountainous rocks and raging rapids below, mankind builds bridges to cross to the other side. Some are outright treacherous, either extremely old, too narrow, too high, over sharp rocks, or a possible watery demise below. Despite bouncing along as the wind sways your walkway, or the sometimes breakable “floor” underfoot, some people use these dangerous bridges as a daily crossed pathway between remote villages. What if urban was only a remote memory and you must get across to the other side; would you pull a Tarzan and find a vine to swing across? How about if the bridge was made of vine? Sticks and stones, canes and roots, bamboo footpaths, can it get more creepy? Oh yes. Adventurers travel where they can cross from point A to point B via the most dangerous ways like swinging bridges, hanging bridges, rope bridges, no handrail available on some. Here are 68 pictures of the most bizarre and perilous bridges around the globe."
