Sugar Loaf cable car

Considered to be one of the safest in the world by international agencies of passenger cable cars, it has never had an accident with casualties. The current lines have safety devices with alarm at all points.

Every morning, before receiving the first tourists, the cable cars have a trial run. The route is entirely programmed by electronic equipment that checks 47 safety items.

  5. I know they are safe, but I am scared to death of them. I like to keep my feet on terra firma if at all possible. What is that long piece under the cable car? Or, is it just part of it? Love the photos. They are stunning. I especially like seeing the lines against the blue sky. genie
