    I'd have to be paid a lot to do something like that, several several thousand.

    It says you can rotate so you face the ground, as if this ride needs more thrill. I don't see how that harness would let you rotate? Am I missing something? Simple curiosity, how would they rotate?

    Participate? No f**king way. I'd skydive or base-jump before thrill walking a thousand foot balcony in zero degree, high altitude Toronto, and I get crippling acrophobia/vertigo in the cheap seats at Minute Maid Park. Seriously. There are way too many more rewarding ways to get that risk-borne rush.

    Scary for sure, but is it really any more dangerous than say, bungee jumping?

    Hell to the no. No chance in hell I would do that.

    My palms got sweaty seeing that pic. I also have a huge fear of heights and deep waters. Imagine if that was ocean beneath that. I would die a painful death just looking.

    There's a safety harness.

    I understand that its not guaranteed that it can hold...but safety harnesses are used plenty of times and you have a better chance of dying, walking across the street, than having a safety harness fail on you.

    The way the safety harnesses are shown in the picture, I'd say its pretty safe.

    Jumping out of a plane with a parachute, bungie jumping, etc...there are much more dangerous things than being hooked up to a safety harness 1000 ft up in the sky.

    How is this any more dangerous than skydiving? I don't have a fear of heights so for those that do, is this a different fear than being in an airplane and preparing to jump out of it? or are both the same?
