Soon you can slide down L.A.’s tallest skyscraper

If you dislike sweaty palms, you might want to take the stairs. The owner of the tallest building in the United States west of the Mississippi River wants to tack a clear glass slide onto the skyscraper’s exterior.

In June, the “Skyslide” will open at the 73-floor US Bank Tower in Los Angeles. Visitors will be able to slide from the 70th to the 69th floor – some 45 feet – while looking 1,000 feet straight down, according to the New York Post.

Although fully enclosed, the glass slide will only be 1¼ inches thick. Visitors will need to purchase tickets to slide, which also earns them access to OUE Skyspace LA, an observation deck. [NYP] –Christopher Cameron
