NO I think it's gonna be a massive one when the glass floor breaks and all the people on it fall to their doom.
Anyway may the girl rest in peace. I'd never bring a child to the Grand Canyon. I'd be scared for my own life if I walked near the edges.

Er, why the hell is that skywalk thing made of GLASS? I predict a massive lawsuit in the architect's who designed it future.

About the Skywalk:
Quote:
|
Skywalk protrudes 20 meters (65 ft) beyond the edge of the canyon. The walls and floor are built from glass 10.2 cm (4 inches) thick. The glass on both edges of the floor is tinted and can be used as a "safe zone" by scared visitors. The Skywalk is capable of holding 70 tons of weight (the equivalent of 800 people weighing 80 kg (175 lb.) each), however the permitted capacity is limited to 120 persons. Visitors are provided with shoe covers to protect them from slipping and to prevent the glass floor from being scratched. However, quite a few light scratches were visible already in September 2007.

It is only a matter of time before the first suicide. It would be ridiculously easy for someone to just hurdle themselves over the side.

RIP little one  . I feel for the family, but I would not go near the edge with a child, even then I would have her hand in mine, or be carrying her. That glass floor on the skywalk hurts me to even look at it...Yikes!!!
