CN Tower in Toronto, looking down at the open Skydome. My parents refused to stand on the glass floor, despite countless assurances that countless thousands before them have jumped up and down on that same floor for decades

countless thousands before them have jumped up and down on that same floor for decades

Structural fatigue means that someday, all of that previous jumping will do enough cumulative damage to weaken the glass frame.

I have no interest in being the straw that breaks that particular camels back, as remote a possibility as it may be.
