May 3, 2009: Glass Floor

Oh dear, ladies. Until now you've only had to worry about the glass ceiling, now this.
You now have to worry about the glass floor, if you don't want the perverts looking up your skirt...





... from 1,353 feet below.




I realize they have a glass floor out at the Grand Canyon, but there's not likely to be anyone below and you're not likely to be wearing a skirt.
Quote:
…these new glass enclosures that extend 4.3 feet beyond the side of the building. Beneath peoples’ feet lies the sprawling Illinois city - 103 stories, or 1,353 feet, below. Just an inch-and-a-half of glass separates the visitor from the street underneath. The attraction is due to open in June.
Good thing it's in Chicago, where they have an honest local government with top notch building inspectors to insure your safety.

I hope they have drainage on that thing cuz I'm sure I'm not the only one that would piss himself dry on that thing.

And close a few moments after the first patrons hit the pavement.

Its awesome, but I near crapped myself when the cube moved.

I can barely even look at the picture. I certainbly cuoldn't stand on it. It gives me vertigo just thinking about it. I found the glass lift at the Bolton branch of Debenhem's difficult enough.

I doubt anyone could see up your skirt, if you happened to be wearing one, from that height.

Now that's scary. I wonder if they'll install a 'no fat people' sign.
