Haha, for what it's worth the pool was architected by Arup Associates who are also responsible for the design and architecture of the Sydney Opera House. Other than undergoing extensive strength tests at the factory there isn't much to it. As the water produces equal downward force over the entire surface area, there isn't a single point on the acrylic where the weight is more or less. So it is technically safer to swim in a suspended pool like this than it would be to walk across a glass-bottomed bridge.

Thankfully it didn’t collapse that day, it took 2 years to fix the engineering flaw. Here is a random article about it www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/11/051103080801.htm

Reason: bridge was naturally “wobbly” due to its nature being a suspended bridge, so people walking on it started naturally adapting their walking pattern to “counter the wobble” at the same time, the more people did it, the more the bridge wobbled. Thankfully it didn’t collapse that day, it took 2 years to fix the engineering flaw. Here is a random article about it www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/11/051103080801.htm
@@alexandersokolov7001 very interesting topic was reading about it weeks ago, only thing is I guess they are not walking in the pool
@@indogoUI doesn’t have to be walking. I’m no engineer, but it looks to be made entirely of glass, without any steel/concrete support. Hopefully the buildings the pool is placed upon won’t sway because glass is not known for its flexibility. I just hope nothing bad will happen…
My worst fears combined. Water and heights. My soul would leave my body if I was in that pool honestly.
Hello Nicola,can we text?
@@militarysergeant3632 No sorry lmao
Oh okay
Darwin award winners right there
If you were to fall 30 stories submerged in water, are you still hitting the ground with the same force?
May we all have that much trust at some point in our lives! Amen.... 🙏
Hello Claytine,can we text?
Imagine them splashing water out of the pool, falling on the people walking below..
"The rain's taken a golden hue today......it's salty too."
That’s so cool. Scary when windy though
OH HELL NOO!! NEVER WOULD I GO THERE
I'll never go there with you!!! No, no, NO!!
I'm nervous thinking about it
I was swimming there on the opening day. It was a fun experience!
How much is the ticket?
@@pinkpanther7933 it’s only accessible to residents, but you can get a guest pass.
@@saweezaaa Thanks for the info! Btw, I saw your video of this pool on Instagram, great job!!
Only to use a few days in a year when the weather's nice.
i was thinking the same thing-better off with an internal pool
Combining fear of height and fear of water. Nice
❤😊
It's basically just a bath tub! 🙄
Is there really high demand for a floating pool connecting two buildings?
There was a higher demand for affordable housing: instagram.com/p/CPnIeubAJ8G/
When catastrophe strikes , they tumble down like real men and die like real men...
@@DDSizeBra yeah! 😆😆😆
I feel like I'm missing out on absolutely nothing because I would be horrified to swim in that pool
I heard about this pool a while back but never saw people swimming in it. So this video is neat to see 😁
But there isn't actually anyone swimming in it - just standing around!
Earth moves from time to time ,, do they know that ??

The surprising thing is not the bridge, but saying that 24°C is the hottest so far.
The BBC: "world's first"
Also the BBC, in the same article: "this is reported to be the world's largest acrylic freestanding pool"
It can be both the first and the largest one. No contradiction. If it is unique then is the largest one because there is no other larger in its kind. If it is not unique then it can also be the largest one when the rest of their kind are shorter.
One of the safest places in London, although now we have gang wars with machetes in Hyde park we should really name in Little Africa.
It’s all fun and games until someone makes a joke and the glass cracks up
To be honest, I’m not a fan of jokes, but that’s a smashing one.
Residents in the "affordable" flats in these blocks are not allowed to use the Sky Pool, even if they pay. They just have to watch the rich people from their windows. Also the "affordable" flats still cost about £750k.
Worlds first floating pool in worlds coldest country
Edit: Yes I know there are colder countries than England
Clearly you have never been to canada
The UK is cold in more ways than one...
London a city of many wonders. 😲
just a while ago the 'unbreakable' glass bridge in China broke and left someone hanging so uhm...
That is so cool. I just realized I have a 'floating' bed that I sleep on every night. It is 'suspended' between my bedroom and my living room in my little studio apartment.
People are starving all across the planet and this is what you decide to spend money on.
My thought exactly ! Forget the planet, London’s homeless would have been a good start
People are starving and youre here watching RUclips? SMH.
Come on! At least having a net underneath that pool.
It reminds me of the movie “The Machinist” in which Trevor Reznik killed a man from a swimming pool suspended on a luxury hotel.
Great film
(the best part of that movie is the last 3 minutes.
This is dangerous
Dont worry guys if it breaks they can survive the fall cause the water will stay in one steady infinate stream in which they can swim up and down.
Only open to a select few riffraff .
Humans be like ; " Yo, fate .. want this 🍬?"
Humans be like ; " Yo, fate .. want this 🍪 ?"
Humans be like ; " Yo, fate .. ....... ?"
What is " floating pool " in title !?
That's a disaster waiting to happen, not even god himself would convince me to swim in that!
Falling from that height in a semi-naked state is horrific. Unnecessary risks in my opinion!
Someone should film a prank carrying a sledge hammer lol
I will
Or a 50cal 🤣
have fun getting sued
Singapore and Dubai: "OH IT'S ON"
Wow another beautiful spot for Spiderman or Superman to save people. Hope Hollywood takes notes from me😂.
Summer vibes are real but anxiety call kill those vibes immediately.
If that catches one stray it’s game over
Yoo nice to see you again love your videos.
Catches one stray what? You aren't trying to say a stray bullet, because the chance of that is even less in the UK than you having sex.
You are not going to catch a stray in that exclusive part but 8 minutes away down the bottom of nine elms in battersea or 5 minutes away along Wandsworth Road on the other maybe.
In winter it becomes the world's first floating ice rink.
My thought too. 😳
I fear the hospital bills are gonna skyrocket.
It’s the uk we don’t pay
They r already closer to Heaven than Hospital.
We don't have hospital bills
@@J07okay yep. There will be no hospital needed. Just funeral personal.
Amazing view every day for the residents living right below
Nice video!! Very engaging from beginning to end. Nevertheless, businesses and investment are the easiest way to make money. When it comes to the world of investing,most people don't know where to start.fortunately,great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance
Investing in cryptocurrency is one of the best chance of making money 💸
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price
@@cynthiaangela1927 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like Mr Jordan Wayne
@James Williams Yeah My first Investment with Mr Jordan Wayne me profits of over $24,320 US dollars and ever since then he has Been delivering
He has really made a good name for himself
Floating pool great, but when are they going to fix all the towers after Grenfell?
Such a bad weather over here 😒 Every bitcoin investor right now is just smiling at the price of bitcoin as it held strong and indeed valuable enough to generating good ROI. More persons are gonna become millionaires and we have bitcoin thanks for that
Bitcoin is the future investing in it now is the wisest thing to do especially with the current rise... for real it’s very profitable
I agree on your opinion generally I always look out for it to dumb so I can purchase some more truly I believe it has come to stay
What's really the idea behind this bitcoin investment anyway, because all I do is buy when it falls and sell when it goes high
Bitcoin investment is just like is just like every other form of speculative investment where you trade commodities to determine which gains or losses against another in order to make profits, just like in forex trading
@@davisedward3013 Relating Bitcoin investment to forex trading definitely means they are risk involved, and just how do you take appropriate risk measures
What is exercable to say is that many people didn't understand why the world is swelteringly hot. The global warming has become a paramount issue which we must take action to deal with immediately. Building more swimming pools in different spaces and shapes has no significance to what we are facing up to.
