These Bridges Around the World Will Freak You Out

5. Royal Gorge Bridge, Colorado

The Royal Gorge Bridge looms over the Arkansas river (90 stories high, to be precise) and was built in 1929. At 1,053 feet, it was the highest in the world until the early 2000s, and it only received stabilizing wind cables in 1982. Today, the suspension bridge lies within a theme park and remains gasp-worthy. Bungee jumpers launch themselves off it, and in 2003 a man in a wingsuit died during a failed skydiving attempt. Unfortunately, it's also been the site of numerous suicides.
