I'd imagine I'd force myself to go out on it.
Whether my boxer briefs would survive unscathed is questionable. |
Why'd they ruin it with those walls? Maybe a slight downward slant towards the far end?
I'd do it if it were cheap, but there's no way I'd pay what they're charging. |

Yep, zapp and I were all set to go ... until we saw the price tag. Ef That!
But I'd do it in a heartbeat ... and I think the glass walls on the finished product are a lot lower than on that artist's rendering. But $80 after an hour's detour down an 18-mile dirt road is not getting me out on that bridge. Fear of Heights has zip to do with it. (Now that it's been mentioned, I'm also not keen on it sticking out from the rim. Structures like the Watchtower and the Lookout which blend with the rim are wonderful, and those like the Kolb Studio and this bridge should be torn down!) |
At Bryce we ran into someone who had just been on that bridge thing-y. He said the clear portion of the floor is already all scuffed up.

I should add that I have no problem with rails being put up on canyon formed structures (I think we went out on Bright Angel Point) and a few other jetti's that had railings around them. Yes, they go into the canyon too but I don't think (and that's just my uneducated opinion) that they would cause as much damage as the sky walk.

$80?!? Um, no effin way!

I used to have a very debilitating fear of heights, but cured it (for the most part) by doing things like zip-lines and skydiving and standing on scary edges whilst reminding myself that I was no more likely to simply fall over (or have things somehow rise out of my pockets) when standing on solid ground adjacent to a sheer drop than I was when on solid ground in the midst of other solid ground.
That said, I don't like rollercoaster lifts that climb too high, and I'm more comforable on a mountain peak than a skyscraper cap. |

But, if the floor was solid (and the price reasonable), no problem. |
