The world under the glass floor.

Toronto - The CN Tower's glass floor looking straight down...approx 1,100 feet.[/list]

It's an excellent and dizzying view!!
(The height of the tower though, even right to the tip of the pinnacle is only 1,815 feet and 5 inches.)

A dizzying perspective of a walk that's not for the faint-hearted. Nicely captured.

It makes me dizzy just looking at the picture. Not sure I could walk out on that floor.

It seems my head was dizzy from the height LOL....to many 000 and incorrect decimal place.
Thanks Ruth

Do they supply oxygen? 11,000 ft., that's one tall tower. Maybe 1100?

you wouldn't catch me standing on that, I go up 30ft ladder at work and I feel scared. Nice capture, you're brave

There is a correction, as below, further up the thread.

When I first stepped out onto the glass floor I could feel the fear rise from my toes, up my legs and sit tumultuously in the nether region. For some, normally the younger, it does not seem to present a problem.

Cheers
Michael :shock:

No way...I couldn't even begin to walk out on that floor. Is there a weight limit :-P

Thanks. It's a great attraction and definitely excites to go up. If yr interested I've posted the link and copied some info on the floor.

However, I would not like to be on the glass floor when those 14 hippo's are there.


Cheers

Is the Glass Floor safe?
Yes. The CN Tower’s Glass Floor, opened on June 26, 1994, is 23.8 square meters (256 square ft.) of solid glass and is five times stronger than the required weight bearing standard for commercial floors. It can withstand the weight of 14 large hippos.
