nothing wrong with Australian (Design) Engineering. We have some of the toughest & strictest regulations in the world.
Our Engineering is on par with the best.
Sometimes tho, fabrication &/or construction can have errors or flaws that get overlooked on inspection & failures happen.
In design, we have multiple levels of self check, formal checks, client review & peer review to ensure things are right.
On rare occasions a design might have a mistake that gets past everyone, but modern software alleviates a lot of risk in the calculations.
You don't see design failures very often on Australia.
that said, im paranoid & I'd never walk on an elevated glass platform or walkway.
Sometimes you cant see a flaw or weakness in glass.
I have an affinity for Terra Firma
