New Grand Canyon Walkway

This is going to freak a lot of people out... the floor is made of glass.

That's kind of freaking me out already.

Holy crap.

I saw a video report about it and they showed them constructing it. Believe me, it's scarier on film.

I Feel like going out there and jumping up and down just to tempt fate/make people nervous *Evil Grin*

You would be hitting your head a lot, judging from that image.

I think the glass floor is great! Combining that, however, with a glass ceiling and glass walls would make me feel a little like a rat in a psych experiment, methinks. A railing would be better. Now, if they could structurally pull it off to have no opaque support structures at all, like an acrylic tube, that would be very cool.

I wouldn't do it. I couldn't do it. Heights kind of freak me out.

What if they had some nice cheese at the end? Maybe a nice baked brie?

Brie? I thought you were still on cucumber tea sandwiches.

Silly, they don't serve lab rats cucumber sandwiches, they serve them baked brie.

EVERYONE knows that!

Yeah, if anyone does this, I would definitely be the first in line to beat them up. It's rather immature and uncool to do in public, don't you think? It's something I'd expect a 10 year old throwing a tantrum to do.

If they really did it right, baked brie, a little Cote de Nuits, smoked sturgeon, assorted fruits, figs with goat cheese and some tradizionale balsamic, I might...

On the other hand, if they had a hunk of supermarket baked brie that makes me feel like it's a 'push one button, get a baked brie pellet, push another button to get off,' well, then, not so much.

Hm, I didn't think I had a problem with heights, but the thought of that is causing me to reevaluate.
