A new glass slide attached to a building in LA 1000 feet above the city below has opend to the public.

People can put their fear of height to the test on the SkySlide at the U.S. Bank Tower in the Californian metropolis.

The 45 foot slide starts on the 70th floor of the tower and ends on an outside landing of the 69th floor.

Sliders will be almost 1,000 feet above ground when they take their initial plunge down the vertiginous slope.

But the real thrill—or terror—about the attraction is that it is made of glass.

Visitors can look straight down at the streets of LA with only sheets of three-ply glass separating them from the outside world.

The glass used is 1.25 inches thick, can hold over 10,000 lbs and designed to resist winds of 110 miles per hour.

It is all held together by steel outriggers having been airlifted to the 69th floor during construction.

SkySlide was built to increase interest in the OUE Skyspace LA, which is located on the 60th and 70th floors of the U.S. Bank Tower.

The OUE Skyspace LA is an open-air 360-degree observation deck that offers visitors a chance to take in LA from 1,000 feet above ground.

The SkySlide opened to the public on June 25th, 2016.
