SBriand 4 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Nope. Not a chance. I remember as a kid going up to the highest observation deck and just clinging to the wall because the ability to look down freaked me out. Link to post Share on other sites

mtdesmoines 3 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I went to the CN Tower in 1995. Back then, they had a glass floor that you could walk out on. It was clear and convincing that there was nothing there. The first step I took, I could feel my brain totally panicking. It was very cool. I don't know that I would want to do this.

timwakefield 68 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Is EdgeWalk safe?Safety is always a priority at the CN Tower, and was considered thoroughly in all aspects of the design and operation of EdgeWalk. As a tall building with communications functions, the CN Tower conducts regular measurements of its radiofrequency energy to ensure that we are performing within federal guidelines for the safety of all participants. EdgeWalk exceeds safety standards in all areas.That somehow makes me feel less safe. The only thing that would have concerned me would be plummeting to my death, not getting irradiated to death. Tell me more about how it's impossible to fall, please. Or maybe just mention it even once? If I were writing that section it would look like this:Is EdgeWalk safe?Yes, completely.Seriously, the first word of their answer should have been "yes." Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,321 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I know an iron worker who worked on installing the Edge attraction on the CN Tower. Those guys have no fear of heights and make very good money. Link to post Share on other sites

Same reason when someone comes to my apartments and asks me if it is safe around here. I can't say "yes". I can give crime statistics to give them an idea of how safe it is but if I say Yes and then something happens, well, oops. Link to post Share on other sites

GWCGWC 83 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 This is going to be a suicide destination for someone. Once the first person manages to loose themselves from the harness and fall to their death, the Edge will no longer be open for business. Link to post Share on other sites
