Now that's a VERY deep end: Dubbed the Sky Pool, the infinity pool is on 42nd floor and extends 10 feet over side of Market Square Tower
Sweat-inducing footage shows one brave resident gingerly walking around on the 8-inch thick plexiglass
He appears to be stepping into thin air as tiny cars zip past in the busy street 500 feet below in Houston
A luxury apartment block in Texas boasts a glass-bottomed rooftop pool, giving swimmers a dizzying view of the busy street 500 feet below.
Dubbed the Sky Pool, the infinity pool is on the 42nd floor of the Market Square Tower and extends 10 feet over the side of the imposing Houston building.
Sweat-inducing footage shows one brave resident appearing to step into thin air as they gingerly walk around on the 8-inch thick plexiglass. Read more and look at the pictures at http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4395260/Texas-block-glass-bottomed-rooftop-pool.html.

This is really amazing. I would like to visit that pool and to swim there, but I am not sure will I have the guts to step on to that plexiglass part  |

Very nice of course, but I'm afraid of heights and did not dare to swim in this pool. I believe that we should not tempt fate. I am against such extreme entertainment. Recently in Turkey has fallen balloon. This probably confirms my words.

This is very interesting, but too extreme. In a sober way, I definitely do not dare to visit such a swimming pool, since childhood I'm very afraid of heights.

Awesome but I wouldn't challenge myself with this. It's extremely dangerous.

As they say, God protects him who protects himself. In such places I would not visit at all, because anything can happen. I never go where there is the slightest risk. |

A very dangerous place, I would never venture to go there. I wonder what will happen if it collapses directly on passers-by |

It's high enough that a small of water would dissipate before it hit, below. Some of the pictures showed the plexiglass "wall" around the pool. |

This is a pool for crazy There is too high and dangerous, besides, pedestrians can suffer in case of breakage. The idea is not very good. |

I think that if such things try to be the norm, then they will think about security unequivocally, because there will be no prospects if there is a threat of injuries. |
