I'll stand back, leaving room on the glass floors for those that like such things.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

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..."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The word zipline makes my hands and feet sweat.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I could try a zipline, I think. It's because I know I'm not afraid of heights, I'm afraid of falling. Once the monkey brain is assured that all the straps & connections are firm, I can get it to settle down.
