Glass Bottomed Walk…
An American Indian tribe with land along the Grand Canyon is planning to build a glass-bottomed walkway that will jut out 70 feet from the canyon’s edge.
The tribe’s reservation is some 200 miles by road to the west of the section of the Grand Canyon National Park that most tourists visit.
The walkway, with a glass bottom and sides, will be supported by steel beams and will accommodate 120 people, though it is designed to hold 72 million pounds, said Sheri Yellowhawk, chief executive officer of the Grand Canyon Resort Corp., the tribal-owned company that is overseeing the project.
“You’re basically looking 4,000 feet down. It’s a whole new way to experience the Grand Canyon,” Yellowhawk said.
Jesus. That thing looks freaky as hell. I’m all for dangerous fun… but that just looks like an accident waiting to happen. Not to be mean, well maybe… but if I’m standing on the far end of that thing and some family of fatties starts walking over, you better damn well bet my ass is going to make a beeline off that thing. Ugh.
