I’m with Dennis Whitehead. This contraption will give a person about 5 to 10 minutes of thrill, yet permanently scar the natural beauty of the Grand Canyon. Think about it, folks!

If I went out on that, my butt would be so puckered up, I wouldn’t be able to move my bowels for a week!

You betcha’...consider me there!

No way in hell would I go out on this thing. Well maybe if someone paid me, but I wouldn’t pay to experience fear like this. That’s nuts looking.

I would love to walk the skywalk. However $75. is a little steep and 5 minutes isn’t long enough to enjoy the view. I am equally incensed by thoes who are against this. They don’t want whats best for the environment, they want it reserved for themselves. I’ve been there and seen them pack it in and not pack it out.

I don’t think so!

The activist enviros, stop oil & gas, logging, snow mobiling, 4-wheeling, etc. This doing the same thing to our landscape, only permanently. I don’t know how they’ll get away with it. Good luck.

I think there is a lot to consider on this endeavor. What a way to get even with the white folk (payback time) when they are on this and the ledge crumbles under the pressure and they fall to the deep abyss. I have lived on reservations for 21 years and by looking at the native “pride” of the junked out cars,houses,etc… I don’t know who will run this any way. Also, why charge a fee for the white man to walk on this terror. They are the ones paying for it. Some people think Native Americans are stupid. Ha! How many non-Indians can you say have a house given to them, laws of their own, don’t have to work and yet get colleges, schools, casinos, entertainment (such as this skywalk) funded without paying any taxes in? They aren’t stupid the white man is. All these freebies are costing the United States. No I would never go on this for many reasons.

I would DEFINITELY walk on that!!!!!

I would DEFINITELY walk on that!!!!!

I believe it will be one of those once in a life time experiences that given the opportunity no one should pass up.

it’s a great project, but there is no way I could ever walk on that thing :)..I am sure many will love it :)

Ah Yes…Been done before, in the Great White North a place called Canada over 30 years ago….
Located in the heart of Downtown Toronto. Near the top, a 24 sq. metre glass floor allows visitors to watch the streets under their feet.

The CN Tower is the world’s tallest building as well as Canada’s most recognizable icon. At a height of 553.33m (1,815 ft., 5 inches), the tower is the centre of tourism in Toronto.

With a chance to see the breathtaking view of downtown Toronto, the CN tower attracts approximately 2 million visitors each year. Things to do in the tower include walking on glass floor, eating over 1000 ft above ground at the revolving 360 Restaurant, watching a movie about the construction of the CN tower and of course enjoying the view.Â
