Let’s just set the scene, suspended by a cable between 2 towers over 1.3 miles apart, 436m/1,427ft above the valley floor in an overloaded skycabin.

And all anyone can talk about during the 11 minute ride? How we’d be screwed if it fell.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not afraid of heights, or worried about this. But everyone else seems to be.
This record breaking Gondola has a tower-to-tower span of over 1.3 miles. Meaning 1.3 miles of moving along cable over an instant death drop to the valley floor below. It’s awe inspiring.
Amazing job done by DoppelMayr & CWA in designing the thing. It costs less as there is no need to build towers bigger then the space needle. And it manages to work.
