What could possibly go wrong?

How do you get up there? Helicopter?

"... a rotating spiral staircase which rises from the pool floor when someone wants to get in or out ..."

So don't do anything that requires immediate egress*, like have a heart attack or aspirate something, I don't know, water maybe?, because someone will have to push a button and wait for the spiral staircase to rise majestically from below.

There is no way this gets built in London. Beijing, Mexico City, I can see that, but not with London's health and safety regulations.

* - not to be confused with the 80s band, Immediate Egrets.

Yea I can see that as real safety. :rolleyes: How long do you have to hold your breath to get to safety or if there is an emergency in the pool, no lifeguard on duty.


The pool will have a transparent floor. Hmm, you can go skinny dipping and people below will have a nice view.

Wouldn't the static electricity from the helicopter electrocute everyone in the pool, if the helicopter pilot tried to land it in the pool?
 
It almost seems like it's an April Fools joke that took a while to catch on.

I'd love to see how much water sloshes over the edges of a 50 story tower. We've already had the conversation about inertial dampers.
The number of reasons that this thing won't see the grey of day is endless.

I can picture that they will have to pull it back from the edge a bit to keep water and people from going over the edge.
If it happens at all, I would expect that there will be an "island" in the middle that has the stairs (and probably an elevator) and a deck area for people to get out of the water.

It almost seems that they are showing it like they are just to get publicity.
 
I think Dubai should build the world's tallest pool. Oh wait they are.

 
Sandals Royal Barbados has a roof top pool with a glass wall. It is built and people swim in it. It’s not 50 stories up but people are not falling over the edge of it.
