Upset me that, when I went to the skywalk at Grand Canyon, you could not take your phone with you for pictures. When the lady at the gate told me that, I left.

If you think it’s brave just walking out there, imagine how brave you had to be to be one of the people who built it!

No thank you on the glass bridge.

I’ve crossed a few bridges in China and it wasn’t fun. One was a wooden shaky suspension bridge high over a dry river. I was only a short way across when some jerky college guys decided to shake it more by jumping up and down. I quickly backed up and got off.

The iconic Seattle Space Needle is undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation which will have ALL the restaurant's walls and floors completely encased in transparent steel glass.

Who wants to look 600 feet below them when their dining?

I think it's going to be a huge multi-million dollar mistake.

Maybe it's just me.

I don’t think so. “Made in China” comes to mind.

Typical Chinese construction (I worked there for 7 months in fertilizer plants). No way I'm getting on that thing...look at those welds!

Of course, their apartment building engineering is much better...

“El Camino del Rey”.

Gets bone-marrow-curdling about 80 seconds in.

Maybe not as scary as this walkway in Spain: El Camino del Rey.

Apparently this has been repaired now. - link

I have parasailed on the end of a 500 ft tether and thoroughly enjoyed it. I would not go near this walkway in a lifetime of heartbeats.

You can put me on a plane. You can put me on a plane and then do aerobatics. But whatever you do, do not put me on a ledge. I know a 747 pilot who is the same way.

Given how many Chinese bridges and buildings have collapsed, I wouldn’t trust it.
