'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
I'll stand back, leaving room on the glass floors for those that like such things.
Timelies all!
Glass-bottom boats, good. Glass-bottom planes, NOFUCKINGWAY.
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.
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.
I pretty much have to crawl over grates, so I am thinking that is a big fat no for me!
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.

I would do that in a heartbeat.

Mostly this, for me. I'm more unsettled by being on top of a ladder than a giant height, but the result from jumping off a ladder (or falling off a balcony) is known. When confronted with a great height, my brain goes, "I wonder..."
The word zipline makes my hands and feet sweat.
