CoolChillGuy420The Unofficial Networks article about this incident said:
However, after the chairlift was stopped, the operator had to introduce specific sequence of procedures and after implementation of the certain actions, the operator had to switch the chairlift on to the diesel generator power and bring the tourist to the safe site where they would have left the chairlift.
Unfortunately, according to the current conclusion, the operator made a mistake. The combination of the actions that he should have had carried out were not implemented in compliance with the relevant instructions – it was a human error. “
I remember people shortly after this starting to question the industry standards of lift maintenance and operations at ski areas/resorts across Europe and starting inquiring within. I'd be curious to know what standards are in place, not that lift accidents don't happen in the North America. I believe there have been a couple in the last few seasons around the US alone involving older chairs.

McDanielspriteIt’s called a rollback. Pretty much the most dangerous thing that can happen to a lift. But there are emergency brakes put in place on all lifts to stop it if it does start. But I believe this was the operators https://youtu.be/FwPP4i7ENvQ?si=pcKHl64Uv8PSCC41fault. He’s a test from Washington I believe where they had 100 pound pieces of stone on them.
