4" glass, wow thats so thin.. i'd have to do it tho... when would you ever get a chance to do that again? i loved the glass floor in the CN Tower in Toronto, i doubt very much anything would go wrong, gotta think of all the testing involved before they let the public on it. Looks mint

Here's a pic of the drop from the CN Tower that I took whilst standing on the glass floor.. its about 2000ft in the air btw



Looking down at the grand canyon would be CRAZY!!
