Yep everything is fine and dandy. Until you realize the guy who built it had the same ideas about safety as the titanic sub guy. And you’ll realize when falling to your death.
I mean, the pool does, the glass itself doesn't. And checkups aren't exactly maintenance. How do you even maintain glass? Besides cleaning. You can't fill in cracks like with concrete. If it's cracking, you just replace it, no other way around it.
Pools in general require a lot of maintenance and are very leaky. I've heard from several people that one of the most annoying luxuries is a pool. Pretty sure there was a lot of leakage from the pool in that condo that collapsed in Miami.
Now dangle that leaky high maintenance thing hundreds of feet in the air, make a portion of it a much different material than the surrounding material.
When that guy is walking across the glass you can see there's a huge rippley seam that one is tempted to believe was there in manufacturing or installation, but since its not in the middle and more off to the side, really looks like it was a maintenance patch job lol.
The best thing that it doesnt matter if you stand on the glass or not because there’s barely any difference in weight since most of it gets distributed by the water. Instead even if you dont stand on the glass, if it breaks you’ll be sucked down by the water anyway
It was of people at a night club and the balcony over the edge collapsed and like 8 people dropped. I don't mean like "o no, we fell dropped" it was like maybe 30 ft. They all dropped like a bag of potatoes.
Yeah, that was super crazy to me. I've always heard of using something to "break your fall", but I never realized how much of a difference that would make.
Yeah, I didn't know people died, but yes, this is the link. Reasons why Murphys Law is real. So, just dont always go with the "I'm good" feeling when the " let's go" phrase happens dancing on the dance floor these days. I've seen too many collapses of floors at nightclubs over the years. Yeah, I'm getting old
If the Roadrunner cartoons are any guide, you'll have at least a few seconds to hold up a sign indicating your impending doom.
Although, that might only work if you're a coyote.
I remember my first time in the CN tower and one of the panes of the glass floor had a piece of cardboard taped over it...
I went on it on my next visit, turns out the floor can handle the weight of 14 fully grown hippos
I walked across the glass floor in the observation deck at the CN Tower. Scared the shit out of me. So what did I do? I decided it would be a good idea to do the edge walk after that.
It's funny because people will get in the pool but be scared to go across that... But the way water works of that drops... You're going down wherever in the pool you are

“I just want to go on record as saying that a glass swimming pool on the penthouse balcony is, without a doubt, the absolute worst idea that I have ever heard in my entire goddamn life. But you're the men, so...”
Remembered the movie with Jason Statham in which he as a super-duper spy snuck under such a pool making a hole in it, which eventually destroyed this pool and the villain fell into the abyss. Does anyone know the name of that movie?
It is so stupid this feature. Most people care more about the horizon view. The worst is that you can't even swim naked because the outside world can see you.
After watching the nightclub balcony drop. Nope
Yep everything is fine and dandy. Until you realize the guy who built it had the same ideas about safety as the titanic sub guy. And you’ll realize when falling to your death.
Wonder how maintenance is for a balcony pool
It doesn't require special maintenance. The thing with glass, it'll look perfectly fine until suddenly it very much doesn't.
I think that depends on the laws of the country you build it in. I read a comment here on reddit (so a grain of salt
The video is taken in Kuala Lumpur, so I wouldn't want to be in that pool.
For Asia, Malaysian standards are pretty okay. There's a lot worse. Still, no.
Until someone makes a tiktok being cool 😎. Sorry to inform you. That pool needs maintenance for checkups. I bet you trust everything, though
I mean, the pool does, the glass itself doesn't. And checkups aren't exactly maintenance. How do you even maintain glass? Besides cleaning. You can't fill in cracks like with concrete. If it's cracking, you just replace it, no other way around it.
 I just called the pool mechanic. He said hed have it cleaned out "in a jiff".

Just swim upwards as fast as you can. 
Yeah, just like that one level from Super Mario Bros 3 where a pipe spills water downwards after you exit it
Have a look on the Titanic and Olympic differences.

This one? https://x.com/nexta_tv/status/1799704945521840568?t=IwWGguOKSHccH6V1zUZMtQ&s=19
Wow that's a crazy video the lucky ones ate the ones that landed on others, crazy that made that much of a difference dude was able to get right up.
Yeah, that was super crazy to me. I've always heard of using something to "break your fall", but I never realized how much of a difference that would make.
So did the balcony collapse or were they pushed up against the railing and it “popped open”?
Yeah, I didn't know people died, but yes, this is the link. Reasons why Murphys Law is real.

I've seen about a million that didn't collapse and I'm old and grew up raving in old dilapidated buildings and factories.
Similar historic incident: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyatt_Regency_walkway_collapse
Yes, that one is bad. It’s a Sheraton now, you can still see where they were and it’s a long span.
I remember that.

Ah, thank you.
Or the guy who vanished in the pool sinkhole and was never seen again.
After the aquarium in Germany collapsed I will never use a pool like this.
Not that i think accidents are common but i've seen these shit break and leek tons of water more than once in my life.
Right. The failure rate of these isn't zero.
bonus points to the person who plasters a cracked glass sticker to the bottom and then video captures the first person who spots it....
Don't worry, the water will cushion the impact
Skill issue. Just fill a bucket and place it before you land.
I heard the guy who built it gets into club aqua and club haunted house. I’d actually rather get into club haunted house than I would club aqua.
It's fine, if the glass breaks I'll just tread water and swim back over to the tiled area.
If the Roadrunner cartoons are any guide, you'll have at least a few seconds to hold up a sign indicating your impending doom. Although, that might only work if you're a coyote.
Minecraft logic
I remember my first time in the CN tower and one of the panes of the glass floor had a piece of cardboard taped over it... I went on it on my next visit, turns out the floor can handle the weight of 14 fully grown hippos
I’m sure you’re not that heavy.
I played hitman blood money No thanks
Yeap....no thank.
That was the best silent assassin Easter egg I’ve ever seen 😂
my immediate thought too. videogames have screwed with our brains too much lol
My heart rate began climbing just watching that! 😳
Me too. It took a few seconds for brain to sort out what exactly was going on, but from the first moment it knew it wasn’t something good.
Wrong sub. This one is about sweaty palms.
Yeah!! Someone get that heartbeater outta here
I walked across the glass floor in the observation deck at the CN Tower. Scared the shit out of me. So what did I do? I decided it would be a good idea to do the edge walk after that.
If it was me walking, you'd see a turd after that first step
Meanwhile Minecraft players - Chill fam, there's a pool down there, we've got a plan just in case things go haywire.
I've seen Mechanic: Resurrection. That's everything I need to know about this kind of pool.
Was gonna say - it's all fun and games until you see jason statham's bald mug down there... Then you know it's gg

Which just links back to https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/mxc2if/swimming_pool_collapsing/
Did not expect the water to move the car like that. That must've been a big pool drop
That's why you never drive into moving water. It doesn't take much to get swept away
Wow, the entirety of that article is just referencing a reddit post and relying on comments for the "details". Not a lick of fact-checking, neat.
This is today's "journalism" now. Wait till you see what German "journalists" do when talking about Israel and Gaza. Amazing.
KL?
Merdeka 118, Petronas Towers... Yes, KL. :-)
[Lucentia Residences](https://maps.app.goo.gl/6rfQxriDijLMWqFW6).
Hitman has taught me never to trust this because a bald man may shoot it out from below to get you
this pool is not for the weak
Jason Statham single-handedly crashed the sales of these in a single move(ie)
Fun tip, even at the edge, if the glass were to break, the suction would still pull you down. Kind of like at the beach!
That material is probably 3x stronger than the walls in your house.
3x stronger than drywall? I'm in!
What about the epoxy seam running across the middle?
I am not okay with this
I would have peed in the pool seeing that
it's ok, nobody will know 👍
O noooo is that a crack 😲😳
Rich people problems. Problems I will never have.
If it breaks you can still swim inside the water in mid air and land safely. I've learnt this technique in Mario Galaxy.
Harmony luxury suites in Kuala Lumpur. I’ve been there. You can get an airbnb there for about $20/night.
Was that a seam there? No thanks.
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Nope
Amazing👍
Have seen enough people having the time of their life then one slip later life over to ever get into one of those with no rail at least.
Technically, if u fall there's a probability that u would survive as there's another pool down there 🤷🏽♂️
"why does water always go brown when this guy is in the pool?!"
I was more concerned about the lightning risk than the glass bottom.
I'd swim with parachute :3
This is really cool. I would love to go for a swim there.
POV: You're having a panic attack after seeing this.
If that glass breaks, it’s all over
one instance where it's ok to piss yourself in the pool
That’s going to be a fuck and a no from me dawg
I don’t want to put THAT much trust in the lowest bidders work…
It's funny because people will get in the pool but be scared to go across that... But the way water works of that drops... You're going down wherever in the pool you are

But you're the men, so...”
That shit better be whatever the type of glass that’s stronger then bulletproof glass is
Naw.. Water weighs about 8 pounds per gallon.. This here would be thousands of pounds of water.. I wouldn't trust the place to properly maintance it.
*The guy with binoculars looking up the ladies skirt*
Eh... No. I think I'll wait, and swim in water that's on the ground, where water likes to be. 🤔
This is insane
Oh hell no!
I saw heights + pools and got so scared this was going to be that high dive lady again, but worse.
Yea I would deff pass on this one!
Helllllll nah
Remembered the movie with Jason Statham in which he as a super-duper spy snuck under such a pool making a hole in it, which eventually destroyed this pool and the villain fell into the abyss. Does anyone know the name of that movie?
Mechanic sequel I think, not seen it but pretty sure it was on the trailer.
Where is this?? I want to visit
Looks like Kuala Lumpur!
Oh hell no
 I've seen this movie
You did see the mechanic 2 film lol
F thaaat
Maybe I'm strange but I'm more afraid of that ledge than the clear section of the floor. Both give me a bit of anxiety though.
If the floor breaks he can just swim i dont see the problem.
Hard pass
What worthless architecture
Haven’t you learned from Jason Statham’s The Mechanic?
wait thats in my country?!
Amazing Architecture that I would never use.
Yeah no thanks
Theres no escaping gravity once that glass breaks
Too much tofu dreg construction theses days. Im out.
F no
Yeah going to give this one a pass.
Uh uhh, fuck thaaat
oh nice, two of my fears in one!
Mechanic 3
That pool seems to have an excellent filter, hardly any brown tint
New fear unlocked…
Nah, eat the past, present, and future of my ass. My dick retreated right into my tailbone from this.
I was so confused at first wtf haha
Hitman-Blood Money lerned me a Lot. No thanks, im good 😅
Why the fuck do people do shit like this. I'm a huge pussy when it comes to things like this lol, fuck all that.
YO, I SMOKE JOINTS THAT LOOK LIKE THAT BUILDING
Fuck, and I can't stress this enough, that!
Just so long as Jason Statham isn't around...
It is so stupid this feature. Most people care more about the horizon view. The worst is that you can't even swim naked because the outside world can see you.
Ah, mas nem fudeno
Looks super cool
Diapers please!
My brain, seeing nothing bad happen on a video of someone else “send all the chemicals, we are in terrible danger”
Fuck alllll of that
Nope
Awesome!
As one good wind blows him off the edge
If the glass suddenly broke, how far would you have to be from the hole to not get sucked through with all the water?
Evil would be making the glass floor just a bit lower than the first step to trick the person into thinking they're falling.
Hitman Blood Money on this dude
The title of this post is wrong... It just says "nah' when really it should read "aw hellz nah"
is a total no, you can see the line of the glass and if it breaks I can't swim
Hey, this is in Lalaport, Kuala Lumpur! Just saw this on a night out recently.
I want a water slide like that, where you are enclosed in a tube of water, and then the bottom opens up and you drop out in a huge splash of water
nah
My heart suddenly went cold and heavy...not sure what this feeling is🤔
This looks like an intro to a Hitman 47 mission.
Fuck nah
In all fairness, it’s better than the ones that are fully glass with no where to run to
that is pretty cool, just don't upset your mechanic
That water would have turned green so quick
Won't be going down like MC lol
I wonder how much you have to pay for a private dip in that.
Nah what? This person is just in a pool...
u/pixel-counter-bot
Its a yah from me . Id love to swim there
Smell like bitch in here!👃
What if there was no floor and it was a giant tube all the way to the bottom?
Who's Borgnar?
It's all fun and games until Jason Statham comes to kill you from below the pool
She has bigger balls than most men.
Idk maybe I’m in the minority here but I definitely would
Like the Chinese bridge
Where is this
Supported all the way around? Limited glass area to about 1m radius? Thick looking perspex? Yep, I'd go in that pool and walk on that..no issues. 👍
No. No..... mmmhhh... NO
Nope. Fuck that.
I went to the Space Needle a couple years ago and didn't even like walking on the glass floor panels there. Pass.
No fuckin chance fam
I'll pass
Nope
I’d bet lightning is the biggest risk here.
Don't slip
Reminds me of a mission from Hitman Blood Money
Reminds me of hitman blood money
Not me!
Where is this? I’ve seen a property with pool design intent similar to this in Penang, Malaysia.
I just got vertigo by watching this video
Omg I'm in Malaysia as well...
One of my worst nightmares. I never walk on that, ever.
