The proposal takes the form of three gigantic inflatable doughnuts, with trampoline webbing stretched across their centres, allowing people to bounce from ring to ring and experience a "joyful release from gravity" as they hop, spring and somersault their way across the river.
The inflatable PVC modules would be 30m in diameter and filled with 3,700 cubic metres of air, attached by cord in a self-supporting structure and held in tension to form a series of arches. The bridge would be accessed by a cantilevered staircase at either end – with the option of dismounting on a slide.
Health and safety concerns have already been raised, with one blogger raging: "This is a terrible, terrible idea … It'll never happen, because people would sue the berets off of anyone who put it up for the injuries that would ensue.
