The Scariest pathway in Spain

[Ray S S]

Here is a video of a man-made pathway up a mountain. Once you start watching you won't want to stop
until it is finished. Think about the construction men that mixed the concrete, hauled the materials, cut
and welded the base frames, built and then removed the concrete forms. Hopefully they were all able to
go to their homes every night.

Subject... Mountain Trail in Spain.

The entrances to this trail is closed but not policed, It was built in the 1920's for hydro workers. There is
no rail, but there is a chain to hold onto. But it doesn't hold much and several people have fallen to their
deaths. This is an amazing walk. It should have you on the edge of your seat, possibly even feeling slightly
dizzy. It's 6 minutes long and should be watched till the very end.

To intensify the experience, click on the full screen button ( middle button that looks like 4 arrows on the
lower right hand side of the screen when the player comes up) It's enough to make you nauseous, especially
when you consider that it was filmed by someone who made the hike carrying a video camera while he
did it.

Yeah, mixing the concrete and pouring it would have been awful tricky. I wonder what they were standing on while they
were standing on to do the construction. Probably nowdays they wouldn't even be able to get anybody to do it. Nobody
would be able to afford to pay workers enough to do a job like that. One little slip and you would never be able to enjoy
anymore home cooked meals. LOL.

If it were being built here in the U.S. it'd never have gotten past the plans with OSHA, inspectors, & a half dozen other agencies involved, not to mention the unions.

It looks like it used to have railing all the way up but it's all in disrepair. I noticed the cable they'd latch themselves to wasnt there in many places. I can't believe the way the guy plowed past one of the other guys on the outside. I'd never make it.

Wow, my legs hurt just watching that video !

 

[Daedalus]

I have to wonder how many people have fallen to there death when the walk way collapsed from the rotten concrete ?

 

[boogeyman]

Gotta admit the guy had stones, walking up to the edge of those holes not knowing if there's cracks underneath and the piece he's standing on is the next to go.

What did the last guy to fall say?



Geromi oooooohhhhhhhhh nooooooooo


Hey? Where's all the base jumpers?

 

[Ray S S]

boogeyman, you are right there about OSHA. They would definitely prevent such a ridiculous platform to be built.

chkn Yup, that is a suicide trail There are just too many places where the cement could cave way under you feet
I can't even imagine anyone being stupid enough to attempt to walk that trail. LOL.

fossis and thank you for your reply.

The Dane,

Daedalus Must have been several of them . All along the way the footing is all broken and could break off at
any point.

boogeyman, I would think that they would blast the bottom section off so no one would be able to get to
the rest of it. That would save any problems. People couldn't fall off it if they couldn't get on it to start.

Thank you for all your replies.
