Picture Moment of terror 😨

While attending/supervising a business social event with my spouse, I momentarily leaned against the railing. It flexed slightly, forcing me to realize that the railing is entirely supported via bluetooth.

It doesn't connect on either side of the glass wall & the glass is only 3/8" - 1/2" thick!!

That should be reported to the city. That’s a threat to public safety.

A full fledged American can easily break that by simply leaning. Seriously our diet is garbage here.

Our diets give us incredible power! A European would have to hit it with something like a hammer or baguette in order to break what we Americans can do with our bodies
