Good god it's going to take a hell of a lot of beer to make me walk out onto that thing. CN Tower's got a glass floor and I can steel myself to walk on it and look down but there is no f'ing way I'm going out onto that death trap without a parachute strapped onto my back. I don't care if the glass rooms are rated at being able to hold 5 tons. Trust my ass on a glass deck with overweight American tourists? I don't think so!
On the other hand it'd be the greatest place to have sex after hours. Imminent death always gets one all a-tingly. Plus the views' spectacular!

For a moment, that looked like just a glass floor extension, but it actually has a glass wall as well... to prevent you from being blown off the building.
I guess the ultimate goal for architects is to make unsafe building features like the ones you see in horror movies. Coming soon: long stairwell that turns into a slide... and metal sliding doors with jagged edges.
