Auckland SkyTower’s SkyWalkFor those of you that are total adrenaline junkies, have I got news for you!

You might not have realised this, but Auckland’s iconic SkyTower has this little ledge around the outside of it called the ‘SkyWalk’, where people who are crazy enough can go for a walk around the outside of the tallest building in the southern hemisphere. And now, they’ve built this neat little harness contraption which means that people with physical impairments can join in the fun (or terror, depending on how you look at it!)

To check out the new SkyWalk harness in action, take a look at the video below, where Attitude TV’s presenters are lucky enough to be the first ones to try it out! You can also check out their website for more information, or go along yourself if you have the guts!
