To prepare for such a commute, it is important to plan ahead and be aware of potential risks, as well as ensure your mode of transportation is in good condition. Ultimately, the decision to risk a "Death Defying Commute" for work is a personal one and should take into account the potential impact on one's health and well-being.

You think your commute to work can be harrowing, how about this commute: Death Defying Commute.

That dog seems so trusting. You just know that someday...

Imagine moving to the other side of the bridge with your bed, your TV, your television, your stereo, the dog house...

I've actually used a bridge like this, before, except ours was essentially level and you had to pull yourself across.
