A tense yet unforgettable moment recently went viral on TikTok, capturing a woman's nerve-wracking experience at the Hangout Skywalk in Genting Highlands.
The Hangout Skywalk, perched atop the Wyndham Ion Majestic Hotel, is an open-air rooftop attraction designed for thrill-seekers. Suspended high above the ground, the attraction provides sweeping views of Genting's misty landscape, perfect for daring photo ops.
In the now-viral clip, the woman is seen outfitted in a safety harness as she cautiously inches toward the edge of the skywalk platform. Surrounded by drifting clouds and dizzying heights, her body language said it all, gripping tightly to the rope, visibly tense, and taking deep, calming breaths.

As she peered over the edge, her facial expression immediately shifted to one of panic, clearly unprepared for the view below. Although she initially froze with fear, the gentle encouragement from on-site instructors helped her muster the courage to inch closer for a photo.
Trying to capture the perfect shot, one of the instructors encouraged her to take a small step back. She hesitantly responded, "My legs are already shaking," showing just how terrified she was.
Ultimately, the instructors stepped in and carefully guided her back to safety, all while ensuring she still got a few snapshots to commemorate the heart-stopping moment.
The video sparked a wave of reactions online. Many netizens initially misunderstood the situation, thinking she was about to bungee jump based on her reaction, only to later learn that she was simply trying to pose for a picture.
In response to the buzz, Hangout Skywalk issued a clarification: their platform currently offers only skywalking experiences and does not include any jumping activities.
Despite her fear, the woman's courage and the scenic photo she walked away with made for a memory, and a video, she (and the internet) won't forget anytime soon.
