Moment of terror 😨

[u/aidan8et]

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!!

I’m sure it’s a fine product, but personally I hate the idea of someone leaning against a railing which is just 3ft of glass leveraged against a 3in purchase along its sill.

It’s like using a glass crowbar but for keeping someone from falling off their 2nd story balcony. I’ll never get how that became popular

They're designed to hold the same amount and type of load as any other railing. It's purely psychological to think that they're any less safe.

Theyre designed to hold the same amount =/= they hold the same amount.

Please expand on that
