Is this the most dangerous commute in the world?

Is this the most dangerous commute in the world?

How did you get to work this morning? Did you take the train to the bus, and then have a 10-minute walk? Must have been grueling. Well, take into consideration the commute that the residents of a mountaintop Chinese village make every day.  In order to leave the village of Yushan in Hefeng county, they must travel by a cable car that is suspended between two very high cliffs — 1,575 feet high, to be exact. Before the cable cars, the residents would have to make the journey by foot. Now it takes the villagers just a couple of minutes to ride the cable car about two-thirds of a mile. And they have been doing this for 15 years, ever since the car was made by hand and the cables were purchased from a European ski resort. The cables have to be lubricated once a week, a job that looks scarier than a New York City window washer's. And if you can believe it, there have been no reported accidents associated with the crazy cable-car commuting method, proving that even a treacherous cable commute is safer than riding in a car on the highway!
