Did you ever walk out on that glass floor at the CN tower in Toronto?

I had a similar experience at the big tower in Aukland, New Zealand,
which also has a glass floor. Not quite as high as the CN tower, but
still I was barely able to bring myself to stand on the glass floor. It
was a very interesting experience, since I have no problem at all being
up in a plane, and even doing aerobatics.

I wonder if a hot air balloon would have the same effect? Something
about zero airspeed and no engine noise at altitude that strikes fear
into the heart of a fixed-wing pilot?
