Los Angeles – A Skyslide of nearly 1,000 feet (305 meters) above the streets of downtown Los Angeles, is set to open to the public.
The Skyslide, on the 73-floor U.S. Bank Tower, will open to the public on Saturday and allow thrill seekers to slide 45 feet (14 meters) to an outdoor platform on the 69th floor.
According to the building’s owner, Singapore-based OUE Ltd., the glass on the fully enclosed slide is only 1 1/4 inches (3.2 cm) thick, but can withstand hurricane-force winds and even a powerful earthquake.
The glass slide on the outside attached to the outside of the 70th floor of the skyscrape, the city’s tallest building, is preparing to welcome the brave. (Reuters/NAN)
