I know somebody who was in the queue when that happened...he got involved in first aid after.
Said it was horrendous.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

It looks absolutely horrendous....and sobering to think that operator error can cause it, on a modern lift, through not following correct safety procedures.

@Old Fartbag, it was a while ago but hadn't they removed a critical safety component? Or was that the Italian cable car thing?

This was several years ago. It was found that multiple failsafe safety devices had been disabled/removed to keep the lift running each time assuming that the other ones would work anyway... until there were none.

@under a new name, It was certainly the case that the Italian cable car incident was due to a disable failsafe component, yes. Criminal charges were brought, not sure of the final outcome.

Re Georgia that incident was terrible. One pregnant Swedish woman was involved - awful stress for her and her child; half of the skiers had serious injuries which required hospitalisation - ‘moderate’ injuries in medical parlance which are serious despite the feel of the term ‘moderate’.
Design and user error played a role.
