In defence of the operator who are very experienced at running cable car operations elsewhere, the difference in NP360 is the scale of the project. Also the cable way was 'required' in its design to make a 90 degree turn in traveling from Tung Chung to Airport Island before proceeding to Lantau. There would have been a reason for this but I suspect that it made the cable way different and more complex. In any case, like an auto accident, there are three elements to investigate, the road, the car and the driver. In this case the operator is the 'driver' who was testing the brakes and something failed. In fact, the driver was being responsible in it's duty of care to operate a 'roadworthy vehicle'.
