Maybe it's just me, but that amount of water + the boardwalk going through it all makes this absolutely terrifying. Awe-inspiring to be sure, but I'm not sure I'd want to go out there.
Sounds like you have a healthy respect for the sheer power of water.
Even on normal conditions, with the tremendous roar and wind they make, the power of these waters is clear even from afar.

Yeah, I've seen bridges that look sturdier than that wash out in floods before. Would not want to go out there lol.
It should be terrifying. Growing up next to a large river with lots of mountains taught me that the real danger is below the water. One (or many) large tree stumps at the wrong angle, and that bridge is gone in no time. There is no reason to experience all of this on a bridge.
It's not just you, fuck that, I'll observe the water from the shore
You can't inspire awe without fear.
