I’d have to invent a new form of ultraprofanity to express just how much I would not do that.
I’ve done the EdgeWalk at the CN 4 times - absolutely love it.
The first time, I was down in the room where you get suited and harnessed, and the previous group returned. One couple must have been about 80+ each, they were retrieving their walking frames while telling us how wonderful it had all been.
I believe they also have a special wheelchair rig for people who need that - so good
Oh, and the crew are always hilarious. Sadly, they don’t play (in)appropriate tunes at the top like they did when I first walked: Tom Petty “Learning To Fly”, Van Halen “Jump” etc
That hanging over the edge image is more what I expected based on the title. The walk in the original video I’d happily do without a harness
Have fun with that! I’m going to go lay face down on the floor and hang on for dear life now.
I rappelled, I don’t think this would bother me too much. China-level safety inspection, Nope!
“ You can run around the edge of the Zhongyuan Tower skyscraper attached to a harness”
Run? That’s undignified.
