Here. Too scary for me, I’m afraid.
i would do it, as long as I was sure that urine could easily be cleaned off the surface.
I would have a knuckle-whitening grip on the handrails the whole way as I shuffled along, but I think it would be magnificient.
But $25 to walk on a walkway? How expensive will it be to maintain that thing?
Urine is a fair substance to use to clean glass. Doesn’t leave streaks. You would be aiding the maintainence efforts, and might get a discount off the $25 fee.
Are we really that fat?
Wow.
Just…wow.
It would be the final thing to make me get off my suburban butt and get to the Grand Canyon.
I want to lie on it face down, with my arms spread wide…
…and then I’ll be on the clean-up crew with Paul. 
Um… I think you’d want to be on the clean up crew* first*. Otherwise who knows what you’d be lying face down in? :eek:
I’m not an engineer, but I’m still dubious at the claim that a platform jutting out from a clifftop with no visible supports underneath could hold 72 million pounds. That’s about how much 240 blue whales would weigh.
No, thank you. There’s something about this that screams “Disaster in the making!”
I got a severe case of vertigo once from walking a flight of stairs that I could see through. And that was maybe 10 feet off the ground. And I’m not even afraid of heights! But I was very nearly a blabbering idiot in that case, I can’t even imagine what would happen to me on that thing. Which sucks, because it would amazing, I’m sure.
I know I wouldn’t be able to do it. I went on a cruise a couple years ago, and the inside of the ship had 5 floors: between the 4th and 5th floors was a glass staircase that was suspended out over all 5 stories (crappy picture). I was able to walk up that staircase but couldn’t walk back down, because walking down required looking down. :eek:
Something tells me they’re just getting us back.
crack…crack…CRAAAAACK…
WAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaahhhhh
“Gotcha ya!”
Agreed. The walkway will project 70’ and be capable of supporting the weight of a ship that’s, say, 500’ long? More than a trifle dubious.
Let’s say we want to support 120 unusually heavy people with a 20:1 safety factor. That’s 120 * 300 * 20 = 720,000 lbs.
Too coo! I would love it. Definitely would take a walk like that.
Sign me up, can we get one over Niagara Falls too???
I feel ill just thinking about it.
I’d love it.
I’ll do it, but someone’s gotta hold my hand and calm me as I scream.
What? No bungee jump?
They would have to pay me one hell of a lot more than $25.00 before I’d get anywhere near the thing.
