The CN Tower in Toronto has a glass floor. It really bothered me to watch my nine year old sitting on it!

No, I just couldn't do it. Even when we had lunch on a terrace in DC last week (on the 12th floor), and even though the terrace was set in about four feet, with ample fencing, I still had the heebee-jeebies. I could not do the glass thing....

Probably not. I wouldn't do that bridge over the Grand Canyon, either!

Why would I want to? The view from the Sears Tower is depressing and ugly.

Depressing and ugly? I don't think so. How miserable it must be to be so g-d miserable.....

I am afraid of heights so this seems plain scary to me. There is no way you could get me out there. If someone had a gun on me and forced me to go out I would probably have a heart attack and die.

Can't believe you've ever seen the view from the Sears Tower to make that comment. Ehh, to each her own I guess. I'm biased because Chicago is my favorite city.

Abso-stinkin'-lutely!!! Will have to make sure and do it (making sure someone takes photgraphic evidence ;-) before the end of summer. I'll have to tell y'all how it went. I have found I am more wonky about heights the older I get even though I used to jump out of perfectly good planes for fun when I was younger. Now I have found that just to get on the roof of a one story house gives me major willies that verge on panic. I keep trying to find things in life, like that glass platform, to do or see that will keep me from becoming a certifiable old fogey. Don't know how wise that kinda thinking is, but it's not boring ;-) |

Oh I sure as hell don't think so. Isn't there a sightseeing tower in Niagra on the Canadian side that has glass floors? Or maybe did at one time, since it's been many years since I was there. There was a foot or so wide concrete ledge attached to the building but the floor from there on out was glass and I went around the whole thing with my feet on the concrete and my back plastered to the side of building. I get sick feelings just thinking about it and it was probably 25 or 30 years ago. I may be wrong about it being Niagra but since I could only think about taking that next step towards the down elevator and breathing, I'm not sure now where I was. The rest of the family had a great time of course and told me later that the view was fantastic.

It would freak me out, but if I was in the vicinity, I'd have to -- just to prove to myself that I could! I try to "do something scary every day," as Eleanor Roosevelt advised. I have to admit I'm not very successful though. I probably end up doing something scary once a month, LOL!

| Twenty years ago, I would have been the first one out there and dancing. But since vertigo has set in, I have become a big ol' wussy when it comes to heights. The weird thing is that I will be fine, know that I am safe, and I can feel it start. I will begin to pant, my heart will race, my upper lip will sweat, and then the dizziness. And the whole time I will be telling myself "you're fine, you can't fall, this is safe" and none of it's working. And the really crazy part of it is that I forget about the vertigo until it starts. I had to damn near crawl off of the Glen Canyon Bridge after I got myself to the middle before it hit. And the last time we stayed at the Luxor in Vegas we had rooms in the pyramid and walking the hallways that open into the center had me creeping/clinging along the wall and doorfronts Thank God nobody opened their door to find me plastered to it. So I guess to sum up, Nope not me.

I feel the same way if a 5 year old can do it, I can at least try  i am afraid of heights but if I just walk and keep looking ahead I should be fine, it would be like going to look out a window, Now if I were on it and some fool yelled "hey look down" well then that would be a different story and I would probably end up having a panic attack.

In a heartbeat...YES! That would be awesome. Of course, this comes from a woman who has jumped out of a plane a couple of times! I think the view would be beautiful! I would want to sit on it, lay down on it, make love on it....okay...that's enough! LOL!
