They have an emergency stop kit in each cabin with bottled water, emergency ice packs (think the sports med types), etc. The other issue is that they designed some stations with dual loading, where one cabin actually splits off the main cabin lane and completely stops to allow disabled individuals to load/unload from a stopped cabin. It is then suppose to resequence automatically into the flow. Obviously this part malfunctioning could send the whole thing into a mess. The other thing with the station picture is they have two high angle turn stations, one of which will never have a load/unload, one that will in the future, but at both the cabins come off line as the turn is so highly angled. That could have happened there and I have no idea if that is monitored by a human or electronically.crazy...
I was reading up on this yesterday. Interesting concept. The gondola cabins don't have air conditioning?!?!?! It'll be awesome once there is a long stop in the sweltering Florida Sun, Heat, and Humidity
