I'm sure there is a walkway of some sorts at Taipai 101 which I believe is currently the worlds tallest building, until the Burj Tower in Dubai is completed (I'm sure someone will correct me if my facts are wrong). Flying into Dubai, the Burj Tower construction site is very impressive, it stands about twice as tall as anything else in the city. I wonder how long it will take until someone base jumps off the top of the Burj
I saw that programme too about the Grand Canyon walkway too. Was on Discovery about a year ago I think.

As for Base Jumping, saw this documentary about one of the best base jumpers in the world on YouTube not long ago. He's jumped off the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio amongst others. I'd imagine he's planning on doing the Burj at some point. I'll try and find it.
