Seems like a design flaw. You don't want the frames the glass are in to flex when the bridge flexes, so they should be isolated to a degree via the mounting hardware.

That said, I can't see how you would accomplish that and make waterproof seals between the sections, so whatever solves the bridge problem does not solve the floating pool problem.

If you're in this pool in an earthquake, aren't you fully fucked, regardless of whether the glass breaks? Getting sloshed right out of the pool, baby with the bathwater-style, seems like a distinct possibility.
