When it comes to height that high........I'm too scare to try it.  Looks pretty neat though.

Yeah, fear of height is real and one of the common mental fears. I remembered when my wife and I went to the Skywalk in Arizona when it first opened, there were people there trying to conquer their fear of height. They were literally crawling on the glass floor as their friends encouraged them to keep going until they reach the other side  :
