      Well, I'll just say this. Notice how we have a photo of the photographer jumping across that gap, but we don't seem to have the photo that said photographer took.

              There is a cable running along the wall at various points that they might be clipping in to - but don't suppose that's checked for corrosion too often either.

                  @Fern4, that pic reminds me of something I saw a few years ago now. Extreme Ironing. Here's an example.

                      I took this photo standing on the glass floor in the observation deck at the top of Calgary Tower in Canada recently. Those streets are a mere 525ft below and it took the lift over a minute to reach the top. :rolleyespink:
