Seems safe enough. With no brakes, the guy who shot the movie still didn't fly off of the cart. It looks like it automatically leans into the curves. What do you say we all take a field trip to Austria?

Looks like fun, but eventually the ride has to end and if it has no brakes, how is it stopped? I was disappointed not to see that! I also wonder how the vehicle gets back to the top?

I bet public transportation would be really popular if it was personal monorails like this.

There's already a prototype for a pedal-powered monorail public transit. It called the "Shweeb".

Thats awesome. I would totally ride that!
But why'd they have to pick a name like "Shweeb"?
