10 Deadliest Bridges In The World

1. Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado

Finally, we come to Royal Gorge Bridge. Standing near Cañon City, Colorado and within limits of the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park amusement grounds, the Royal Gorge is the biggest bridge in the United States. It's also likely to make anyone with Gephyrophobia feel sick.

Notice something strange about the bridge itself? On the left of the picture, there's a support beam. Note that the other one (a full 268 metres/880 feet away) couldn't even fit into the photo frame. That doesn't seem safe, and it's why heavy goods vehicles are prohibited from driving over the thing; some, smaller vehicles are permitted, but only when the bridge is closed to pedestrians.

Fall from the central point and you're looking at 291 metres before smashing into the nasty combo of water/ground below. In feet, that's a pant-wetting 954.

Nice spot to bungee from...
