Obviously nowhere near as high off the ground (although, I reckon you'd still die if it fell ) but when I was 16 me and 3 of my mates got stuck on the cable cars at Alton Towners for 30+ minutes. They just... stopped. It was more claustrophobic than anything else - it was a hot day and it's like a little greenhouse!

Thankfully none of us were being knob heads... the car in front, the kids in it were deliberately running back and forward to make it swing around .

i've been on a cable car twice. Once in Switzerland and once in Hong Kong. I was a kid in switzerland and didn't care less, but as an adult in hong kong, it was scary as ****, it's just unsafe

Great news they've all been rescued.

By the way, when I first saw that image on Twitter of that cable car hanging by a thread, I did think it was one of those UFOs.

The Local Villages
Have made all this work
they were in a
Front Shell of Lorry.
Adapted to work as their own Local Cable Car.

It saves 3 hours ground journey to the School.
