The highest up I go is 17 hands.

I'd have to see it in person first to determine if I would.

i'd go out on it.
hell, people go to aquariums and never give a thought to glass holding back tons of water-but walk on it?! lol

reminds me of when they would open the bay bridge once a year for walkers. not many folks wanted to walk on the grill in the center of the lane, since you could see the water hundreds of feet below. i always thought that was funny-the stuff holds up 18 wheelers, but people thought they'd plunge to their deaths....the mind is a terrible thing.

The last time I was up in the Sears tower, I could barely get off the elevator and sit down on bench against the wall.

i rode a ride last year at a theme park that i guess most of you would skip. sit down, and they lift you up, and up......and up. slight hesitation, and they drop you-stopping dead just feet from the bottom.
gets the adrenaline going, that's for sure.
