FOR local residents and tourists in downtown Los Angeles looking to put their tolerance of dizzying heights to the test, the latest attraction at the US Bank Tower, dubbed Skyslide, might just hit the spot.

Part of a US$50 million makeover at Los Angeles' tallest building, Skyslide is about 14 m long, encased in glass and steel and affixed to the exterior of the US Bank Tower. Along with a new open-air observation deck called the OUE Skyspace LA, it sits some 300 m above downtown Los Angeles.
