I’m not walking on that thing in the first year. Too scared it’ll go falling off into the abyss.

So, you’ll wait for the joints and other connectors to get older with age and risk them breaking, sending it falling into the abyss? :)

Oh, and I’d love to go walk on that. Hmmm, there’s talk of a family trip to see the extended family in Phoenix later this year… wonder if we could make a “small” 3.5 hour detour….

After working there for a summer, my wife is always wanting to go back there. And I haven’t been there yet, so sign us up!

There’s a simple fix for all of this: If you go out on the walk, wear a personal parachute and keep your hand on the pull at all times.

Now you gave me a great image, Augie — imagine bungee jumping from this thing (ignoring for the moment that the skywalk is probably too close to the wall to safely do this).
