That clip actually gave me shivers.

I forced myself to watch it all the way through.
I am scared of heights and that was freaking me out.

That freaked me out man!

Obviously a substandard maintenance program there. Holes through the path? Entire sections eaten away and you have to do a tightrope act to get across? One slip and it's bye bye for you. I wonder how many people a year don't make it out of there alive?

A skydiving mate of mine did this path this summer. I couldn't believe it when I saw the photos on Facebook! But they had ropes for the really scary bits. Still scary!

Do a search for it. It is indeed falling apart and there's no one who knows how sturdy it is. Even the safety rope is old and unknown whether it would actually hold someone who slips.

That is trippy. Where is this trail of death at? Looks like an old mining relic.

Wow that is an amazing feat to build that for the time. I bet working on that Dam job didn't pay enough even before the deterioration of the infrastructure.

There is a hiking trail like this called Mt. Huashan in China as well.

There are several other listed on this site.
