For those wanting to battle their fear of heights, downtown Los Angeles has the perfect experience for you…a 70-story glass slide!
The ‘Skyslide’ is set to open in June, 1000 feet above the ground from the 70th to the 69th floor of the tallest building west of the Mississippi.
Thrill seekers will slide down nothing but 1¼-inch of glass – would you dare?
