"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.
The tourist complex includes three stations, Praia Vermelha, Morro da Urca and Pao de A?ucar which are joined by four cable cars - two going between Praia Vermelha to Morro da Urca and two between Morro da Urca and P?o de Acucar. Urca Mountain (Morro da Urca) is 220m high and Sugar Loaf (Pao de Acucar), 396m high." (visit link)
