Technically, no one has a fear of heights. We all just have a healthy fear of falling from great height, hahahah!

Speaking of which, has anyone happened to go to the Willis Tower (Sears Tower) in Chicago and witness the Skydeck? It's amazing. You can literally go to the top and "step off the edge" of the building inside a plexi-glass enclosed box. The experience is awesome. There are multiple boxes along the building. Here's a picture of my close friend Rufina (and the coolest Russian ever, hahahah!) in one of the boxes.

Went there but not in the glass box I didn't know it was there. Looks cool although I always feel like the glass will break and I will fall if I touch it or lean on it so I would not be very comfortable up there lol

Heh, it's funny you mention that -- we actually went into another box and jumped. It was a bit scary. But fun. :D

For some reason, the Willis Tower wasn't as tall as I thought it'd be. I could still see people walking along the sidewalks, hahahah.

I developed my fear of heights (falling from heights) nearly what 11, 12 years ago at the top of the reunion tower in Dallas at night, I wanted to get a better view so my dad lifted me up and I looked over the edge of the railing and nearly crapped my pants.

I have no fear of heights or of falling. It's the sudden stop at the end that I'm afraid of.....

I have busted lots of Plexiglas. Polycarbonate aka Lexan is a lot tougher than Plexiglas...A LOT.

I just read about the glass boxes in the Willis tower and they aren't Lexan or Plexiglas, just high quality tempered glass.

Ah well, I didn't exactly have the time to find the engineer and ask what the material was made of, eh?

The more you know. :)

I think they're either:

A. Acting like they don't know (to seem cool? :P)
B. Genuinely don't know (somehow, this "YOLO" cancer is everywhere in the internet, ugh.)
