Reinforced glass panels are amongst the latest China quality manufactures to begin mysteriously exploding, in this case dropping the unfortunates who walking over it into the depths below.
The reinforced glass panelling was being used to pave a section of street in Sichuan province.
Two men walking over the glass fell 5m into the car park below when one of the sections “exploded.”
Journalists found many other cracks in the glass walkways nearby, suggesting the problem was not limited to the one panel.
The quality of the “reinforced” glass used has immediately called into question the wisdom of using a certain much trumpeted elevated cliff walkway elsewhere in China:

That's rather impoloding... well , that change a bit of things , luckily the issue shall be the same :D
Is there anything in China that DOES NOT explode?
Their birth rates.
*ba dum tsh*
Thank you, I'll be here all weekend.
With those explosion and vehicular accident with any luck their billion population will decrease because their existence is pretty damn annoying!
Supposedly they are working on a feature that things only explode when used by old people.
Birthday sex?
China's population is estimated at 1,343,239,923. United States is estimated at 313,847,465. If anything, I think their birthrates were the first to explode.
Anon, not really. It took a really long time for them to reach those numbers and now their population is overaging.
In fact their population number is about to implode. But hey that also counts, doesn't it?
bombs and dynamite
The only thing that doesn't explode in China are the weapons systems such as bombs in their "armed forces".
exploding babies? dont think thats happened yet.
Industrial grade tempered glass can be amazingly strong, even substantially stronger than traditional building materials. The inherent strength of this glass is also it's weakness. While possessing amazing impact resistance and durability from the sides (flat parts), even the slightest hit or crack at an edge (the ends) will cause it to shatter spectacularly.
When used as transparent walkways the edges have to be completely free of contaminants such as pebbles and debris, then sealed in a way to prevent the edges from from striking any other surface during vibration, shifting or quakes.
I, suspect the glass wasn't substandard, but more likely installed by a low bid contractor who did not understand the properties of the materials they were working with.
Thats what happens when you have workers getting paid 10 cents an hour doing construction work. Doesn't matter how good the materials are if the people installing it don't give a shit about they're doing.
If you look the the pictures of the cliff skywalk, you can see that each glass sections is sealed at the edges.
The concrete sidewalk appears poorly maintained.
and that's why china should never expand, they'll just turn everything into an explosion.
And America is better?
America had nuked itself over 1000 times!

michael bay will probably do a movie about china soon
After a recent visit to China, it should be a remake of George Orwell's 1984.
- Want info on the current party or party chairman? Nope. Not available and by the way, why are you asking?
- Want to know about the 25 million people Chairman Mao Zedong killed? Nope. Never happened. You're just spouting Western propaganda. (I was told this at a Chinese history museum no less! He who controls the present, controls the past indeed.)
- People who lived through Mao's era and watched friends and family be executed sing his praises as "Der Glorious Leader."
Because the special effects are free?
I think he already did, does Transformers 2 count?
I hope China will explode soon.
I hope not, coz I still got family and frieds that live in there. I just hope the Chinese communists explode.
Shit. My clothes are made in China and I have not exploded yet
Atleast some manufactures warn you.

LOL
LOL that cannot be real.
True story.
Explode? No, spontaneous combust most likely.
Yet. The important word is 'yet'.
Just make sure your underwear are not from china, you probably don,t care if you die but you will care if your junk explode and you don't die.
You can break glass, but you can't destroy china.
The two men unlocked a secret level.
Reinforced or not, a glass walkway is a BAD IDEA.
Proved, everything made in chine explode
you french? Cause i'm.
Ah, grammar... I believe that you are french.
China, the only country to hasten the energy death of the universe...
In Communist China...
Will you STOP exploding already!?
I think there is a terrorist attack behind all this random explosion
Works as intended?
Reinforced.....with explosives.
Im beginning to question if all this shit is actually exploding.
Also how is this exploding? The glass gave way and they fell. They said two men were walking over the glass and there are 2 holes in it
So i'm thinking about building a car with glass floor panels, should i order the materials from china to save costs, or look elsewhere for the goods?
Walking on, walking on exploding glaaassss....
I wouldn't dare walk on a glass footbridge in side of a cliff...
Is it just me or does that railing look like it only comes up to her knees.
picture 3... fuck hell if i'd walk over that! lol
it all started with the nukes... and it hink it will end that way i'm afraid...
That person on the last pic is kinda dumb...
I'd hold onto the rail on the other side. If the glass breaks, it's much easier to hold onto that rail rather than that rock wall.
Ok thinking a bit more about it, since this is China quality, she's right, the rock is better.
The rock is from China. It's probably just as likely to explode as the railing.
lol I wouldn't trust that railing either.
It might explode...
