This bugged me quite a bit. You know how it gets pretty crowded up there with a lot of people on the cables at once. There was this lady who "took precautions" and wore of rock climbers harness and would caribener herself on the cable as a "safety measure".

The problem is, this woman clearly had NO REGARD FOR ANYONE ELSES LIFE EXCEPT HERS. You can die falling off the cables, but with her caribener safety line, she would take out the half dozen people behind her if she ever fell saving her own life.

(holding the cables is the only thing keeping you from falling and her caribener would rip the hands of those below her as she fell.)

This is the same mentality of the people who drive Hummers to "protect themselves" with no regard for the people they run over.
