An interesting attraction is located on the highest La skyscraper. Anyone, if dares, can use a glass hill placed on the outside of a building at a height of 70 floors instead of an elevator. No, the daredevils are not offered to go down with a breeze to the parking lot – only 14 meters are enough for acute sensations, which overcame those who want to get into the floor below.
The 73-story tower of the US Bank has a height of 1018 feet (about 310 m). On the roof of the building is the most popular observation deck in Los Angeles, which is rightfully considered one of the most important attractions of the city of Angels.
But the past few years with a panoramic platform, in popularity, a glass slide has successfully competed, called Skyslide.
A trip on a glass tunnel mounted on the facade of the building takes only 3 seconds and costs $ 8, but the impressions received during a short trip are truly priceless.
In order for tourists not to get stuck in the pipe, each before the descent is given a special rubber rug, which reduces the clutch with the surface and protects clothes from friction.
Despite this, incidents happen over the terrace of 69 floors constantly stands a screech. The lost rug has to crawl along the glass, helping yourself with your hands and legs, under the laughter and jokes of onlookers.
Skyslide slide is considered a safe attraction, although emergency situations are here. In particular, a week after the hill was opened, one of the tourists turned her leg in the pipe and even sued the owners of the office and entertainment complex.
The SkySlide design is a square pipe of a special high -strength glass with a thickness of 3.2 cm. The slide is fixed on the metal design and, according to specialists, even a hurricane wind can withstand.
