[QUOTE=pentium;48502022]Now imagine if it broke.[/QUOTE]
Hopefully that's what all the engineers who are currently working on are imagining, that way they can make sure it doesn't once it's built.
How long before someone goes skinny dipping in it? :v:

No, they are busy imagining all the extra money they will get to make something that will most likely be useless... an outdoor pool in London.
Edit: I'm no engineer, but when it's not in use they could collect rain water in it and connect it to the water system in the buildings to use it for toilets. Saves water and people money :v:

Well at least they won't even need to fill it up.
NOPE.
Not really though, I imagine they can test this design pretty thoroughly and make sure it doesn't break.
Oh man I'd really love this. It combines 2 of my favorite things, swimming and heights.
I work with glass, if you need glass that can cross a small space that's able to hold a person walking over it you would need it to be almost 30cm thick. I can't see how this will ever work, even if they are using other materials. There will surely have to be some sort of steel construction to hold it up.
Great idea the acid rain will fill up the pool for free

As said in article, acrylic. And they're planning some sort of bearing system for support and movement.
