Toronto's CN Tower New Trill Attraction

Topics

The EdgeWalk at Toronto's CN Tower is an adrenaline filled excursion around an open-mesh metal walkway almost a quarter of a mile above the ground. There's no guard rail and no hand holds, just an uninterrupted view of the Toronto skyline and a through-the-mesh view of the ground, 1,168 feet beneath your feet.

Daredevils in red jumpsuits can teeter around the outside edge of Canada's tallest structure next month as Toronto's CN Tower opens a new attraction for thrill-seekers and those wanting to overcome fear. A reporter leans over the edge of the catwalk during the media preview for the "EdgeWalk" on the CN Tower in Toronto, July 27, 2011. Participants are strapped in to a harness that is attached to a guard rail while walking around the catwalk on the structure 356m (1,168ft) off the ground.

I agree it is silly. If people want excitement, they should jump from a plane like I do. At least you have a parachute for a soft landing (relatively, since nowadays, you have to land on your ass).

There is an article that tells you more about the saftey, ropes (double harness) etc.

Why don't they do it without ropes? Now, that would be exciting!

I used to rock climb before I broke my shoulders falling off a ledge on my mountain bike so I know about this. I worry more about human mistakes than equipment failures. I need redundancies so a high performance chute I can control would have to be in the mix

Notice there's no price showing.
Today I looked into it and it's $175.00 for half hour.
Now, I thought they pay me for doing that crap, then I heard nooooooo, you pay dem. Ha!
They could keep the coverall and rope, cainsta is doing great on the ground.
