No thanks! I never thought I was afraid of heights until I took the glass elevator on the Westin Hotel in Atlanta to the Starfish Restaurant (hope I remembered the name correctly) atop the building. It was like 75 stories up and about halfway up I got very, very tense! By the time we got to the top I was afraid to breath. LOL. Never again.

That has a pretty high Pucker Factor. There is a similar walk out over the edge of the Grand Canyon.

No no no. That’s torture if you ask me. I’ll take waterboarding any day over being forced to stand on that thing.

It’s pretty cool looking out on Chicago from the top floors of the Sears Tower. The glass balconies sound great for thrill seekers, like my wife who will demand that I go there with her.
Hope I can control my lunch, not to mention ...

I don't have any phobias about heights, and have been to the Sears Tower observation deck a number of times and really enjoyed the view. But I would have to think twice about standing on a piece of glass suspended 1300 feet above the ground.
Glass does break! ;~))

I've been up on the sky deck several times and I can assure you that Sears sways, even on a calm day. On a windy day the movement is enough to see if you set down a drink. It is a relatively slow movement so it isn't bad. From a psychological point you can push the fear out of your mind by thinking of all the metal around you. But get out in a little glass box 1300 feet up with the floor moving under your feet? I'm probably going to do it just to say i did, but I'm going to need a couple of stiff drinks afterwords.
