I'd be inside that glass box in a flash! I love stuff like that!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Richard Branson planning a glass-bottomed plane for Virgin.
I think I would love this but my brain might revolt. I'd try it though!!

I have always though I would not do the Grand Canyon thing for anything. I think I'd have less issue with a plane though--for most of it, stuff is SO far away that my brain doesn't go "eek, height".
There's something like that in the CN Tower in Toronto. I had to physically make myself do it. You try to move, and the body's like, "Hell, no, are you stupid?"
Heh. When I dated a Torontonian she took me there and laughed at me when I was like "hell no" to standing on that.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll stand back, leaving room on the glass floors for those that like such things.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Glass-bottom boats, good. Glass-bottom planes, NOFUCKINGWAY.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
They have glass sections on the floor of the top observation deck of the CN tower in Toronto. I tried to walk on one while looking down but my body just refused to do it.
When I went some six or seven year old snuck up on me and gave a little shove while his father laughed his ass off. Nice. Real nice. Not only are you teaching your child to be a douche bag, I nearly (reflexively) decked your kid.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I too want to do the Alps glass thing. I will be freaked out, but what a RUSH. I have a fear of falling from great height (and a strange pull to jump) so as long as their are glass walls, it's all good.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I pretty much have to crawl over grates, so I am thinking that is a big fat no for me!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
They have that at the Sears Tower.
What they don't have is a way to zipline from building to building to cross the Loop. Get on that, Rahm.

Le nub, I have no fear of heights in generally but I definitely have that weird pull that makes me scared I'll jump.
