Now THIS I've got to do!
For a mere $25, up to 120 people at a time will be able to look down through the glass skywalk to the canyon floor 4,000 feet below, a vantage point more than twice as high as the world's tallest buildings.
Don't worry, because architect Mark Johnson said the Skywalk can support the weight of a few hundred people and will withstand wind up to 100 mph. The observation deck has a 3-inch-thick glass bottom and has been equipped with shock absorbers to keep it from bouncing like a diving board as people walk on it.
...what if I want it to bounce like a diving board?
The glass skywalk is scheduled to open to the public on March 28th.

Many similar things were once said about the Titanic I believe...
This will make for a much different experience of the Grand Canyon than I had as a kid!
