Holy Crud! That scares me just looking at it in a picture! I HATE HEIGHTS! How can people walk out on that thing? And sleeping on it! Whats wrong with those people? They really need to get back! What if the glass breaks?

I am not scared of heights, but at the same time you would not catch me walking on a tempered glass balcony that high up without a parachute or a hang glider.

I love how fearless those kids are. Heights don't bother me much, but standing on a glass floor that high up? No thanks.

Wow. That looks pretty cool actually. Sort of reminds me of the glass skywalk at the grand canyon.

Re: Sears Tower unveils glass balconies on Skydeck

MY dad has a phobia with heights and I keep telling him he needs to just challange himself and if he could walk out on that he will either freak or be cured. It seems to have become worse and a couple of weeks ago I had a free pass for a fishing pier and he could not even walk out on the pier and its not even that high up.

I'm terrified of heights. No way in hell I'd go anywhere near that.

Re: Sears Tower unveils glass balconies on Skydeck

Man oh man, that looks cool. I would have no problem with going out on those. They would have a problem getting me to leave, tho.

Re: Sears Tower unveils glass balconies on Skydeck

You gotta do it, just to say you did. I have no fear of heights, but I bet if I was standing there I'd have that little inhale before you do something like "I hope this works". Still gotta do it.
