Well, would you?

 

[Hov34]

Pass

 

[Polish Hammer]

Absolutely.  Don't really see the big deal.

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Sure.  I trust the strength of glass to hold back the gorilla at the zoo, to keep the pressure in my airplane, and to stop bullets around my bank tellers.

the real question is why I would pay $8 for such a short slide.

 

[Aerial Assault]

Sure!  And before I even saw the name of the building I knew this had to be happening here. 

Now, as to why exactly this is happening anywhere, I'll hang up and listen.

There was a story not too long ago about the glass from the Sears Tower showing cracks while people were on it. They said that it was superficial and not impacting the integrity of the glass.

Can't imagine the mess being made when someone pukes all over that thing even though it's short ride.  You know there's going to be some chowder head trying to convince his scerd bud to man up and slide down.

  use the stairs fat-###

 

[Christo]

Hell, no.

 

[Johnny Rock]

One floor? Why bother? 

 

[Willie Neslon]

Nope

If you are going to do something, do it right.   This whole thing screams half assed.

They should've built a slide that goes all around the building a few times and takes you back to the ground.  Glass the whole way.

The only thing you need to worry about is being in it when there's an earthquake.

70th to 69th...  Weak

Seriously.  Before I clicked on the link I was hoping for something straight outta Chutes and Ladders, like from 84 to 16 or whatever that bad-### super-long one was.

This.. go big or why do it at all?

It wasn't the glass that cracked, it was the protective coating on the glass, which is why no one was in danger from it.

Hell, no.

Afraid you'll fall through, fatty?

Yea, well, when you are standing on glass a billion feet in the air- a crack is a crack.

 

[Officer Pete Malloy]

Never a big fan of the "Library Tower".  Not Cobb's best work IMO.

Yea, well, when you are standing on glass a billion feet in the air- a crack is a crack.

At that height, you are weightless and floating, so no real worries about falling. Just don't fart or else you'll be speeding to a rendezvous with the sun.
