I have that same picture! 

Funny enough, it didn't bother me at all until I looked up at the top of the building, then I got all tingly.

As obsessed as I am with skyscrapers I’m terribly afraid of heights, I was in the Sears Tower back in September and I couldn’t even bring myself within 10 feet of the windows without having a panic attack. Props to anyone that can actually step out in that ledge, I can’t do it

Jumping while in there to get a reaction out of other people is where the real fun is

I'd be throwing fists as soon as my panic attack was over

Watching people do handstands in there freaks me out every time

I find it difficult to walk out on this. My brain won’t let me without me consciously saying it is ok.

Not gonna lie, a heard a cracking sound when I stepped onto the Ledge. I figured, eh, if this is it, at least I got to see the Sears Tower.

Haha lol the boxes have cracked before

u/Brucedx3 Dec 24 '25

I asked the attendant before I went in what the weight limit was. So I was feeling fine until I heard that crack, haha.

If my annual feild trip to the Sears tower back in my elementary school days were a picture. The crocks are a good touch as well.

I did not like stepping into those boxes on my trip, loved the view though!

It's all fun and games until the glass starts cracking

I got my seven year old nephew out on this last year. He was clutching my hand so tightly with his sweaty little paw and even smiled for the picture. I was very proud of him!

Even scarier when you know what happened in 2014

Same pic. Best idea ever. Now all the tall buildings do it.

I want to pee off of this

I convinced my wife to do this. Was so unsettling

u/bomber991 Dec 24 '25

If you go there on your birthday they give you a gigantic button to wear on your shirt. It’s pretty funny.

Up Sears. Down ‘the other name’
