wow, no steel reinforcements or anything, just the 1.5 inch glass. hard to believe it can hold 5 tons.

cool, nonetheless.

We looked for it last week. but couldn't see it on any of the sides of the building. The fiance and I are going down there on the 4th for taste of chicago and fireworks. Maybe we can check it out and Ill take pics.

[Goat Roper]

It actually retracts into the building so you probably would not have seen it.

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

You'll never see me out on that thing.

You'll never see me out on that thing.

Photographically though, the shots would be spectacular

[TraceDaddy]

The man force is strong in this one

I can see it holding 5 tons. From the looks of it you could probably cram 12 or so people in there, say 200lbs each thats 2400 lbs. That gives you a factor of safety of about 4.2 About 3x what your airplane wing is :P
