I can't confirm with 100% accuracy but I heard a "rumor".
This is KJ walking the very outer ring on the Space Needle.

Holy Catfish, safety line or not, don't think I could/would do it.

Here's some other fool doing it.
This picture shows better what's actually going on.

I've always enjoyed a good adrenaline rush but I see nothing exhilarating about this.
Diff strokes I guess.

Yep unless I am flying in or piloting an airplane, heights ain't for me. Yes, I get the irony.

With a lot of framing experience in my background walking on top of 2x4 or 2x6 walls, that walkway looks as wide as a highway. Heights dont bother me at all and I could do that walk with no sweat. The problem is there's no way I could get up there, i'm extremely claustrophobic and dont do elevators.

The biggest problem is wind, the walkway is wide but you also get some mighty big gusts up there, I suppose they would not let people walk on days that there is any wind to speak of but a high gust when your tense can create an imbalance and panic and bye bye birdie :)

I also framed and did the stint on 2x4 walls and tresses, but did it without safety lines like they require now days, did fall once off the peak of a three story and landed in a freshly back hoed and graded yard and left about a 6 inch imprint in the soft ground and hurt for a week. Damn dew on freshly installed Plywood roofs and my friend deciding to play army with a nail gun and me trying to get below the peak.

It looks like the guy just farted a small boat.

That's awesome. I'm not a Seattle-ite; is that something people can do if they have the money, or was this just a special circumstance because he's a celebrity?

Ummmm...hey KJ. Do you think that cheesy helmet is going to do any good if something goes wrong here?

Not sure but because I've seen more than one picture on the interweb I assume it's something that be arranged.

No clue how, or why one would go about doing it.

I would definitely do this. This is the sort of thing we should have children be doing more of, too. Fear facing is a good thing, and is something I feel most people are lacking.

Still not as scary as when you get your dinner bill after taking four guests up to eat at Sky City. That nearly killed me
