    Wow. That made me sick watching that. I do wonder how that was built. Maybe one of the engineers can explain that. I would think building that would have been more scary than the walk on that video.

      I'm just a bit acrophobic and will probably have nightmares about that video now. Thanks a lot.

        I'm sorry. I should have labled it "NSFLAU."

          I'll take a crack at it: judging from the crumbling walkway, missing handrails, etc., not very well.

            I think it's bogus. If someone is 'walking' and 'climbing' stairs while filming, there is no jumping or bumping around on the video. When passing people, it's like the dude is floating.

            I'm calling it a fake. There is no way in $@%! that they could just float over those little missing pieces of trail or walk on the beam like that without the film going all over the place and jumping around. Fake fake fake.

            It still freaks me out as I don't like heights.

                    It kind of reminds me of Barenschutzklamm in Austria. Most of the hike is up wooden stairs that have been built into the rock. It was probably my favorite hike I've ever done.

                    Not that, sickos.

                          I enjoyed walking parts of the Camino del Rey when I was enjoying my two year ecclesiastically mandated coming of age ritual in the Spain - Malaga area.
