Check this out. Found this one one of my glass publications

The walkway out is clear glass and will hold 71 million pounds....71 747's

Its cantilevered glass and steel framing has several layers of low Iron ultra clear tempered glass ..the vertical drop is 4000Ft.

great video of the canyon and construction and engineering

I'd give it a whirl, but I would be more concerned with the edge of the canyon breaking away rather than falling through the glass. I mean it doesn't take a brainiac to look at the Canyon and figure out that the edge could possible crumble away.

At first glance I would say:creepy:

But, I am trying new things, so to get a good picture (and no one would believe me that I went out there, :roll:, I would do it, especially if money bets were involved. :rofl:

I'd be there with you, in a heartbeat. I have no fear of heights and that thing looks like it's engineering to withstand anything. The view...whoa!
