I'd hate to ride that on a windy day. Can you imagine?

As a young teenager I lived for a time in the Canary Islands. We visited the Volcano in the center of the island. While standing near the edge there was always a swirling wind blowing that would suck your cap off your head. I imagine the winds in the Kimberly Diamond Mine could be about the same.

Did you notice at the top right corner of the picture how the cables curve up toward the surface? This picture is taken near the bottom of the ride after the cables curve out more horizontally than the upper part of the ride. This picture is after the ride has slowed down. You know after the screaming has stopped!
