[QUOTE="Ded Driver, post: 517204, member: 12692"] 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 ;) [/QUOTE]
