Skiers Go Flying In The Ski Lift Ride From Hell

This ski lift footage from the country of Georgia in 2018 sent skiers flying and fleeing for their lives

The responses had me shocked👀

1:15 you’re trying to tell me they didn’t get FUXXED up from that? To say they were YEETED into a pile of broken piles is an understatement.

During my college years, I spent time working as a lift operator. We trained extensively for roll back accidents like this. Every morning we had to manually pull the emergency brake on each lift to make sure it worked. If it didn’t work, the chair was deemed inoperable. We also tested the emergency back up generator on each chair every morning before opening. Because generator and manual brake checking is done every morning on every lift everywhere I have ever heard of, how did this happen? This was awful to watch. May this never happen again!

Makes me so happy seeing those humans caring for others, especially the little boy! This is humanity

How that skier at 1:17 didn't get killed, or even seriously hurt, is absolutely astounding! It looks like he/she gets crushed up in the top of the tower and tangle of chairs. Damn!

It really is heart warming to see people trying to help others with a sense of urgency. Like at the end with the person hanging. They helped minimise the impact. Well done

I am so glad people screamed "jump" so not many other people got hurt!

How the hell did it take so long to turn it off? Seriously, WTF!!

I seen the same thing happen at a smaller hill in Alberta. I was in line to load on a T-bar lift when it stopped and started going backwards. I yelled at the lifty to hit the brakes and he yelled back, "I don't know how!" I quickly kicked my skis off and ran over to the lift, pulled open a small door that covered the drive shaft and stood on the brake pad which stopped the shaft from turning. The lift stopped so suddenly, it wiped out absolutely everyone on the lift and broke a whole bunch of T's off of the main cable, but at least it stopped. You couldn't really blame the lifty for that as he hadn't been properly trained to even run the lift.

“Let’s go skiing they said. You’ll have fun they said…”

It is so awesome to see people as a group come together in a moment of extreme danger to help others. Too many times do we see people being hurt by others where no one steps up to help them. This is the way everyone should be…

Went for the skiing, stayed for the ski lift.

I'm glad to see people helping one another. I hope everyone is alright.

I’m no engineer but I worked at a ski resort for many years and did all sorts maintenance on these machines under the supervision of an engineer and his team. Guaranteed there had been no PM or required inspections on this machine. The emergency brake and anti-rollback obviously was nonexistent.. Gravity broought the haul rope ( cable) downward. All simple physics at that point. Totally avoidable. This was a horrific situation..

That kid who held on is really strong. And it took guts to let go and trust people to catch him.

A moment of silence for the employees who had to clean that mess up 😆

I’m surprised they’re speaking English in Georgia. Also lovely to see people helping people.

The ONLY time not having the safety bar down is safer

I was chair lift operator at 18 in Bear Valley, CA. On very windy conditions we would pull the seat cushions so the wind wouldn't fling the chair sideways. Only saw the chair blow out to the side once on the turn at the bottom. That was insane 😳
