The One on One Lessons Where You Learn Through Hands on CaressingZhangjiajie Grand Canyon bridge, the world's highest and longest glass bridge, is set to open in Hunan, China, next month and its operators want to assure you it's safe.
This follows incidents like the Yuntaishan glass bridge in central China's Henan province cracking last September.
To assuage fears, Zhangjiajie's makers invited BBCreporter Dan Simmons to carry out a safety test.

The test involves Simmons standing on top of an elevated glass panel -- the same panels that make up the bridge -- which was placed on the bridge and slamming a sledgehammer on it.
At Simmons' first swing, the top layer of the panel shows visible cracks. He was then encouraged to take a few more swings at the glass panel. Despite the precarious-looking cracks that showed up after several hits, the glass panel remained intact.
