This is the terrifying moment that a glass walkway suspended 3,540 feet in the air cracked under the feet of tourists.

The walkway, at Yuntai Mountain Geological Park in Henan Province, Chima, cracked at around 5PM on Monday afternoon - causing a whole lot of understandable panic among tourists.

Posting on Chinese social media site Weibo, tourist Lee Dong Hai wrote: ‘I was almost at the end and suddenly I heard a sound. My foot shook a little. I looked down and I saw that there was a crack in the floor.

‘A lot of people started to scream’, he added.

‘I screamed out, “It cracked! It really cracked!” and then I pushed the people in front of me so that we could run out of the way.’

Speaking to People’s Daily Online, a spokesperson for the Yuntai Mountain tourism bureau explained that the cracks happenedd after a tourist dropped a stainless steel mug on the walkway.

Thankfully, it was only one of three layers of glass that broke, so the tourists were not in too muchdanger, the spokesperson said.

The walkway, which just opened in September, has understandably been closed until further notice.
