I'm not going to research this any further and I definitly don't want to nag about this anymore. No reason to start bickering about something like this. :)
As i previously mentioned, I have a hard time believing that lemurs could leap up to 30 meters. 30 meters (about 100 feet) is a hell of a long distance, in fact it's about 60 times the lenght of the animal itself.
Wikipedia says Sifaka lemurs can leap up to 10 meters from one tree to another, this seems more realistic. My guess is the producers of the show made a mistake (perhaps even deliberately) and stated the distance in meters instead of feet, as 10 meters is about 30 feet.
I completely agree with you Me3. Also, although the cable may be old and rusty, I wouldn't be surprised if it could survive loads up to 10 or 20 (or even more) times the weight it carries now. I'm not too sure about how much weight both end stations can bear though.

That statement can't possibly be true, can it?
