Nothing is more terrifying than being at a high place, so what about walking while you are high in the sky? Most of the common bridges that are constructed over rivers, railways or roads for crossing from one side to another are traditional and not very high while there are other bridges which are really scary since they are very high and shake when you walk on them.
