        Not very smart that they waste all that energy in mechanical brakes. See my comment (the one with the picture) for a way bigger and electricity-generating ropeway, including a video of a guy less squeamish than Tom Scott riding most of the 45-minute way up.

            He literally has

            in the description. Meanwhile, that fat dude from Vrchlabí jumped into a moving bucket of one that is faster, 2.5x longer, at deadly height, and his only plan of getting down safely was a mattress. He acknowledged how illegal and dangerous it is and yet publishes the video with his full name.

            Just accept it, Tom Scott was being way more cautious.

              firstly I was joking
              secondly, cautious ≠ squeamish. we shouldn’t be setting masculinity as an example

      I’m pretty sure they’ve been doing this for years in South America already.
