[Jayrod]

Those things were flying!!  May be a lawsuit or 20 coming from that.

 

[sbonomo]

that is scary.....my goodness.

 

[Joe Summer]

Odds that this was caused by Russian meddling?

 

[Da Guru]

omg. I hope nobody got seriously injured. 

Said nobody was killed but the dude at .40 took some serious punishment.

I have no idea how that person survived(I think it was a girl).  Looked awful.

at :16, look how far the person in yellow flies!  The person at :41 is likely really messed up.

Probably was better off getting tossed.

Probably was better off getting tossed.

And landing on snow, for sure.  What happened to that person at :40 looked horrible. 

 

[Da Guru]

Damn!  Pause that right at :33....

Great move by the guy at :19 to save his head.

The ski lift riders will probably get off with just a year or two of prison.

What part of "JUMP!" didn't she understand?

 

[EYLive]

In Soviet Russia, ski lift rides YOU.

 

[Sputnikv8]

How does the lift not have an immediate kill switch to shut the motor off?  Did the operator get tossed too?  That is insane.

 

[AAABatteries]

Holy crap

 There were, Putin won.

 

[Shankopotamus]

This seems to be the real life experience of Busch Garden's Alpengeist roller coaster. 

If it ran backwards.  Wow.

 

[Yankee23Fan]

Nope.

No.

Not gonna.

Nope.

The motor failing is what started it. The safety brake also failed. So the entire thing was just in free fall backwards.

One of the injured was a pregnant woman according to the text posted with the video.

 

[Sinn Fein]

 There were, Putin won.

The skiers are now working in labor camps paying off their debts to Putin.

 

[popeye]

So basically it became every county fair ride in the summer.

 

[Bossman]

I give the girl in yellow a 8.5 ... only because she didn't stick the landing.

The operator should have hit the safety-stop switch.

Sadly, he hit the kill switch.

E-STOP is your friend.
