Members of the media and the Hualapai tribe take a preview walk on the Skywalk, billed as the first-ever cantilever-shaped glass walkway. It extends 70 feet from the western Grand Canyon's rim more than 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the Hualapai Reservation at Grand Canyon, Arizona.

I don't think I would.

“I can hear the glass cracking!” Hualapai Chairman Charlie Vaughn said playfully.
RACK Darwin in advance for hitting fucking paydirt.

better put some sort of warning in the title of this thread for that one poster who like shat his pants while on a ski lift. I'd go for a walk on that after two or three double bacardi and cokes. Once you're as high as what you're standing on, everything is level and swell.

I think the
bridge could go for a few drinks before you step out on it.

I'll set the over/under at 30 days from open. The mistake security will make is going to be finding the guy just so they can prosecute him. Anyone who would base jump into the Grand Canyon deserves what they get. If they make it out alive they deserve the cred. If security had any balls they'd let base jumpers have free run of the place and when they find the bodies, stand them up in pine boxes against the visitor's center.
Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby.

Hell yes I would.
I visited the canyon back in 93. Awesome. First thing I did when I got there, was take a piss off the rim. Taking a closer look at that photo, there is a nice gap between the panes of glass ........ PERFECT to piss through, one more time.

For free, sure, I wouldn't even think twice about it.
But at $50-$200?
The tribe will include access to the deck in a variety of tour packages ranging from $49.95 to $199.00.
Fuck that.
Btw, admission or not, that walkway as a "thrill" is for pussies.

My wife wants to go on that POS when we're out there this summer. Fukk that. They want 25 bucks or something like that. I'm guessing that the view from the parking lot is pretty damn good as well.
I think the injuns are fukking up on this one. 25 bones is too steep for a 3 minute walk. Drop it to 10 bucks and I might bite. I suspect that a year from now, it will be half the price it is now.
As for you daredevils afraid to take a walk, how the fukk do you climb in a car every damn day? It is infinitely more dangerous. Pussies.

A few years ago, I stood on a glass floor near the top of the CN Tower in Toronto. The CN Tower, for those who don't know, is the tallest building in Canada. I have a fear of heights, so looking down damn near caused my knees to give way.
The fall from the Grand Canyon would be even farther, IIRC. Would I stand on that glass floor? Maybe, but not for more than a few seconds, and I'd probably be scared shitless the whole time.

The Skywalk might seem a little daunting, but not compared to the walk down the not-so-aptly named Bright Angel Trail or others like it. Some parts of those trails narrow down to a few inches of crumbling dirt and rock. The view from the walk more than makes up for any perceived risk.

I'd do it, if someone else is paying for it. You're an idiot if you pay $50 to walk across a bridge.
On second thought, I'll let you climb on my roof and look in the neighbor's yard for $10!
