Five tons of glass form the SkySlide, a chute installed 1,000 feet off the ground on the exterior of downtown L.A.’s U.S. Bank Tower, the country’s tallest building west of Chicago. Naturally, everyone brought their phones along with them for the ride. Get the experience on Instagram, without taking the plunge, here.
