Got to the first girl moving to the edge, with the camera looking down, before I got dizzy and almost lost dinner. i've been inside there, and that alone had me freaking. You'd never get me out there for that. Unh unh, no way.

Jason, it is wickedly windy up there. Freaky windy.

Nope, no way, absolutely not. There is no bribe in this world that would get me anywhere near the open door.

I'd love to do this with my boys.... talk about a bonding moment or ten.

rb is right - the sway up there is unreal. It makes you wonder how concrete can move that much & not shatter... the marvels of modern engineering, I suppose.

The CN Tower now holds a Guinness World Record for its EdgeWalk attraction — the highest external walk on a building.
