Title: This is Crazy.
Post by: Bigscrb15 on November 08, 2005, 07:43:20 PM
I am not very afraid of heights, but I would NOT be caught dead on this thing. I looked this up on a couple different websites, and it is true.


Grand Canyon Skywalk
Scheduled to open  2006
Hualapai Indian Reservation

* Juts out about 70 feet into the canyon, 4000 ft above the Colorado River

*Will accommodate 120 people comfortably (How comfortable would YOU be?)

* Built with more than a million pounds of steel beams and includes dampeners that minimize the structure's vibration

* Designed to hold 72 million pounds, withstand an 8.0 magnitude earthquake 50 miles away, and withstand winds in excess of 100 mph

* Has a glass bottom and sides...four inches thick

whoa pretty crazy, I think I could build up the guts to do that. Can't be anymore tougher than trusting the rollercoasters they have out today.
