Updrafts are a problem. There used to be an outhouse on a ridge in Banff Provincial Park that just hung out over nothing. It wasn’t unusual to get whapped by flying shit when an updraft hit just as you crapped.”[/quote]

I laughed so hard at this image, I actually scared my very lazy cat off of my lap. I also almost peed myself.

well sorry about this guys….I love flying and abseiling but in all honesty there are thousands of things I would rather do than walk on that and most of them are painful and very unpleasant.

Note that $25 will not, in fact, buy you a stroll on the Skyway. That is only the part of the fee charged by the investors who built the thing. The natives on the reservation have their own fee – that’s another $50. And you also need to pay some amount to enter the park ($10 or so). And from the reports, you won’t be 4000 feet above anything at any time. You might be 200 feet above the nearest part of the canyon wall, though.

I just didn’t find this to be very impressive. I was imagining so much more and I reckon America could do better. Plus I was told it would be a bridge, something that would have been pretty darn cool. Oh well, better luck next time : )

There is only 4 inches of glass between you and 4000ft drop
