They did not report that two men were fighting on the roof of the
cable car and one of them fell to his death but had a parachute.


No, that's "operational difficulties". A "technical problem" is where one
of them bites through the cable with his teeth causing the gondola to fall to
the river below but lands in a passing weather balloon.
