Sure, it's supposed to hold 70 million pounds (the equivalent of 72 747 airplanes) and survive an 8.0 earthquake from 50 miles away, but if you catch me out there after a couple Long Island iced teas, I'll still slap anyone silly who takes to jumping up and down.
Currently being built at the Grand Canyon for an early 2006 opening, the new attraction is a walkway with glass bottom and sides, composed of a million pounds of steel, and attached to the side of the canyon about 4,000 feet above the Colorado River.
Credit (or blame) the Hualapai Indians, who own one million acres on the western rim of the Grand Canyon and wanted to do something more than add slot machines.
In addition to the world's first sky walk, other attractions are planned including a hotel and Indian village with authentic native shelters from the Hualapai, Navajo, and Hopi.
