The suspension bridge in Sochi, just like the author’s other ideas, allows the heart to skip a beat from the rush of feelings. The most interesting thing is that even people with disabilities have the opportunity to jump. So, thanks to this development, a person who essentially spends his entire life in a chair can do something that thousands of healthy people do not dare to do.

The ambitious bridge project was developed jointly by Russian and New Zealand architects. Design and research took 3 years. Construction lasted 2 years. 740 tons of metal structures and 2,000 cubic meters of concrete were used in the construction of the bridge. SkyBridge is designed to meet all safety standards with a large margin: it is capable of withstanding a magnitude 9 earthquake, hurricane winds, rain, snow and icing at once.

Skybridge is intended both for visiting tourists for hiking and enjoying panoramic views, and for entertaining fans of bungee jumping. With special launch pad you can make a jump with an elastic rope (bungee) 69 meters long - this attraction is called “Bungy 69 m”.
There are two viewing platforms on the bridge. One of them is in the middle of the structure. This is where the main attractions of SKYPARK are located for thrill-seekers - BUNGY 69m, BUNGY 207m, SochiSwing 170m, MegaTroll 150 km/h. And every visitor to the park from the bridge will be able to watch jumps and flights over the gorge. Or maybe he’ll decide to take the leap himself.

The grand opening of the world's longest suspended pedestrian bridge, Titan RT, took place on Sunday.
The bridge was built in the German Harz region near the largest dam in Germany with a height of 106 meters. With the help of which in the 1950s a lake was formed, one of the main drinking reservoirs of Germany. Nearby is Mount Brocken, described by Goethe in the tragedy “Faust”.
According to the builders, it has now become the longest such pedestrian bridge in the world.

Opening of the Titan RT bridge in federal state Saxony-Anhalt was preceded by five years of calculations and engineering work.
“I feel a resolution, because it took so long. This is the most long bridge similar type. I really hope people leave with smiles on their faces,” said operator Maik Berke.
The bridge's cables are embedded in the rock on both sides and are tensioned with a force of 947 tons. Thanks to this, up to 210 people can be on the suspended structure at the same time.
