which allow you to step out onto a Plexiglas floor and look straight down [2].   Here’s the full AP story [3].

I know that this will not be for everyone.  I once told a buddy about seeing how close I could stand to the edge of a cliff at the Grand Canyon until he tersely asked me to stop talking about it because he was getting nauseated.

Actually, a few years ago, my wife and I visited the CN Tower [4] in Toronto, and had the opportunity to stand on Plexiglas balcony to look straight down.  Here’s a photo I took:
