Glass "skywalk" extends 70 ft over Grand Canyon

bikinpunk · 03-20-2007, 05:09 PM

This thing has apprently been opened to the public now. I can't find good actual pictures but the CNN link has a video of it....CRAZY. No way I'd walk on this:

"The glass-and-steel horseshoe extends 70 feet beyond the canyon's edge with no visible supports above or below."

Pretty cool but I don't know if it's worth the $25 to walk it and pee your pants.

I really do not like it. They plan on building hotels and what not around it. When I visited the Grand Canyon the thing that I loved was the fact that it was so quiet, and so much nature, I think people should try their best to keep it that way. I really dont think they should do this, my humble opinion of course.

Yeah it is nice there. I remember that there was a thunder storm on the other side of the canyon. Its pretty cool seeing the weather all the way across. You cant see that stuff in the city.

***00celica*** · 03-20-2007, 08:54 PM

**marc-o-lishuz** · 03-20-2007, 09:12 PM

Wow... way to wreck a national monument.

I don't think any sustainability models or environmental impact forecasts were done on that project.

projectprelude · 03-21-2007, 02:14 AM

HAQER · 03-21-2007, 03:47 AM

You could do a Fast & the Furious style drift around that thing.

P4rD0nM3 · 03-21-2007, 04:31 AM

I'll take a walk with on that anytime, just give me the money to pay for the fare. I'll run, jump or whatever.

iknowmysh1t · 03-21-2007, 04:48 AM

P4rD0nM3 · 03-21-2007, 04:53 AM

It would be nice to dump a guy on that site.

Caper · 03-21-2007, 10:19 AM
