Aw hell no!

SkySlide will be the main draw at the new OUE SkySpace LA observation deck atop L.A.'s landmark skyscraper, the tallest building west of Chicago. Visitors can coast down the SkySlide, a chute made of glass and affixed to the outside of the building, going from the 70th floor to the 69th.

It's 45 feet long and hovers 1,000 feet above the pavement, inviting incredulous stares and gasps from people on the street below.

"The slide actually transports people from the inside of the 70th floor to the outside of the 69th floor. So you're standing in the open air by the time you're done with your ride," said OUE Americas senior vice president John Gamboa. "We don't know of anything else like it."

Not in a million years. Nope. Never. 😱

And is there something wrong with the woman's leg in the second picture?
 
Soon we'll all be travelling via tubes, as in Futurama....

actually, most of us start out life by travelling via tubes.
Yea I seen this thing on the side of the US Bank in downtown LA. Pretty crazy! It looks like it would be fun, it only drops one floor level, but it's the all glass and that terrifies me. So, nope! lol
 
I wonder what the maximum design weight is? I could imagine some people who would go through it - I know people in the 350 pound range.
 
I think they should've done a staircase in glass instead.
Or some other proper way to slide down.

I would refuse to do this on the basis of that I don't want to look stupid sitting on blanket.

/SK
 
Where do I sign up? I'd love to look stupid sitting on a blanket if I got to brighten my days with a bit of silly fun. Weeeeee, skyslide!
