I would never go skiing in Georgia, oh wait, that Georgia!

Reminds me of a carnival ride called the whippit.

In the US people would be trying to get on that lift just so they could sue.

That was wild. Gotta be some kind of safety braking that didn’t kick in, you would think. It is amazing nobody was killed.

 

[Fijimn]

I wonder why no one hit the e-stop.

 

[BlizzardNole]

Wonder how many people opened that video on Yahoo and though OMG is that north of Atlanta?

Note to self -- no skiing in former Soviet republics.

I've always wondered about that as I ride up. We went to the mtn today, glad I didn't see that video before hand.

Must have been tampering by Russia that caused that.

 

[csklad]

There was no collusion.....but there was a lot of collisions.

Our position is that the ski lift was operating properly. People were being moved across the mountain via the lift in a timely fashion. Frankly I’m insulted by the question and implications that there was anything unusual about the process. Just another example of fake news from the lying media. Next question.

And just to add to that, the President has given no indication at this time that any lift operators may be replaced. They have been doing a very good job, a very good job.
This is just another example of a group of people trying their best to make the world a better place again.

I may pay an extra $10 spot for that action.

it crazy the lack of safety you can see in other countries in this day an age.

Yep, double edged sword. We expect higher safety regulations, which drives to cost up and increase timelines yet complain about costs and not being able to keep up. Then you see stuff like this.

I am also thinking specifically about medical research, stem cell work.

Sidenote, day long lift pass at this resort cost $16. Cheapest I've seen in the US is about $60 - $70. Yet $14M was spent on that bridge and it still came down in hours.
