Tony Posted March 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Only luck no one was killed....What i don't get is it looks like the cars were free falling but they all fell anticlockwise. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted March 17, 2018 Report Share Posted March 17, 2018 Ski lifts take people up the mountain. All the weight is on the "Upward" side and no one is on the downward side coming down, so when it failed gravity decided that the weight of the people on the upward side should pull the lift back in reverse.
