Cable car accident

There has been an accident on the Nevis Range cable car system in Scotland. See article at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/highlands_and_islands/5178870.stm

We had a great day out on this last summer when we were touring the area. It was our younger son's birthday treat, before going to MacDonalds in Fort William for lunch (his idea, not ours).

It will be interesting to see what the cause comes out to be. More immediately, how to you balance risks with having a good time. Of course there must be risks from cable cars, but people seem to expect that everything can be made risk free. We have a cable car system in Llandudno, but it has not worked for several years (I don't know why). I doubt this accident will help its restart.
