I've skied for 25 years. Detachable triples/quads are *monster* lifts, and can bite you HARD if you screw up as the lift op.

Man people still dont get this one. Would not have mattered of there was a rollback brake. It would have been manually pumped just like the service and emergency brake. There arent multiple hydraulic systems or a necessity for them. The lift stopped when it fouled itself there was never an emergency brake engaged. This was complete operator failure.

Happy new year Mr Noodles.

I appreciate you covering this dude!

Love will make you do crazy things. I hope THIS love never finds me. She looked nothing like she did in life that's crazy. THEN to be displayed also crazy thought process. W video, great summary! Keep it up big dawg<3

Finding oneself in Australia for any reason is definitely taking a turn. And not in a good way.

This channel should be more popular Keep up good work

I've been watching a few of ur videos now and I just looked at your sub count Most underrated ytber ever. Keep going man 👍

If you're freezing with fear, you shouldn't be on an 11,000 foot mountain skiing or snowboarding.

I had a skiing accident once near North Vancouver. Earlier that day I had twisted my foot by accident, I went to the resorts restaraunt, and the food distracted me from the pain, I thought I was all better, so I hit the slopes cause I'm not paying that entry and kit rental fees for nothing. So I was going down a slope made for experts cause I didnt see the sign so I thought it was an easy one, about a bit down I lose control and I'm hauling down that slope, and right beside me was like this small cliff like thing that was like a ledge and I tried to stop but since I had twisted my foot earlier my feet were weak, the ledge was approaching so I had to like bail and just like throw my weight the other way. I end up falling off my skis, I dont remember what happened after that but I just remember being in severe pain and I had to like hike myself down the mountain cause I had no cell reception to call for help, and it was a long way to hike. I felt those pains for days even weeks

im so old i remember when Turkiye wes spelled Turkey and Kiev was Kiev, and the world didnt suck

Those min wage lift ops had no clue what they were doing. Im sure they were told to figure it out themselves by management. They did their best but had no clue the danger they were putting people in.

👍

Theres another lift on the Tube they test to destruction. When they did the runaway test it shows the testers running for cover as the weights used for test are being tossed 100s of feet from the crash at the bottom.

This exact situation happened to me and my brother when we were kids skiing at Devils Head in Wisconsin. The lift stopped then started to go backwards and speeding up significantly faster than it normally went. We were about half way up when it started and noticed people getting flung off the ski lift at the bottom. We both decided to ditch our gear and jump off right before we got to the very bottom. It was about a 10-15ft drop but better than the alternative. Scary situation for kids to experience and especially because the only way they could stop it was by cutting power entirely to the lift.

It’s because they are going up on the wrong side duh. Everyone knows the right side of the lift goes up and left goes down. duh duh duh😊

What is this proper torque the generator has to hit lol some new crazy shit that is made up from this guy.

it doesnt matter in the eyes of court how the thing was operated. at least in the automation industry it's ALWAYS the machine manufacturer's fault. unless something was done to changeor bypass the safety system, the Estop should ALWAYS function as an emergency stop. this would count as a performance level E safety circuit in our industry, this means not only must the E stop be hard wired with 2 connections, directly to the brake, but these connections need to be monitored for wire breaks and manipulation, AND the brakes need to be monitored for wire breaks and proof of engagement. the fact that these guys who literally build machines for the public to effectively trust with their lives, didnt use a normal industry standard E-stop is absolutely criminal. the option should not even be offered for SALE. "operator error" besides blatent manipulation against the operation manual is no excuse for a machine building company

The chairlift operator? It’s probably some kid doing work there to earn a little extra money. What chair lift operator is going to be training all those emergency procedures that’s pretty complicated

Yeah nobody’s gonna remember that in the time of panic about an automatic generator like they have at a hospital

9:23 Yes, when me, my dad, and my sister were on American Flyer, located in the very center of Center Village, something just made it stop even though it was a Leitner-Poma 2018 bubble lift, all 3 of us were stuck for like an hour. Thankfully, with the power of human strength, all 3 of us made it to the upper terminal. *and it never happened again*

Verry great Video 🎉

I was a lift operator in the 1980s. We had 4 brakes - the bullwheel backstop was like a ratchet - it is impossible for it to run backwards.

I know this isn’t exactly funny. But a few of those skiers got to see what it feels like to get tossed off a bull😂

Only eight likes? Wtf!

Your criminally underrated man, glad to be here becore you go big 🙏

Some of those people have 0 survival instinct

I will say from a lift operators perspective. There is almost NEVER adequate training for lift operators, I was a lift operator at a Massive resort which I will not name, my first day with 0 experience they took me to a detachable high speed lift with a moving carpet to load, and showed me how to start stop and slow the lift and said just ask the guys up top if you need help, I worked that hole season without any official or documented training, I don’t know what it’s like at this resort, but if this had happened to me or just about any of the other lift operators I would have been just as scared dumbfounded and totally oblivious to any order of operation in this scenario. Moral of what I’m saying there should be a higher standers to uphold from a mountain in training, everyone in these comments ask a lifti if they have had official training I bet the answer is no

Highest lift prices in the world, lowest quality lifts by a country mile, bit ironic haha

Great breakdown! Please review that lift accident that smashed the lift behind it, happened in Tahoe

Let me guess... the operators where two 18 year old boys hired a week before.

With that many people on the lift, and it being so long.... there is little hope the generator could start turning the load, without back-spin !

Bros got yeeted 💀💀💀

No way a minimum wage liftie is at fault haha.

Who's at fault ? Russia

I felt like riding tmm but than I saw this

Dude just doing his job. Then a horrible accident happens. Now it's his fault? That fucked. But it sounds about right. Multinational corporations never see consequences because they layer themselves in deniability.

The manufacturers can be Sued as well as The owner's butt. In court eyes It would be the owner of the mountain. They have Is insurance for this reason

Owners of the mountain are responsible for any employee.Or malfunctions in their equipment. You don't need to make a whole video about it's simple as that

Kyle Schwartz, is that you narrating?

No roll back safety brakes , manufacture/ resort owners

It was Chinas and the owners fault. The owner of the ski lift ordered it off of temu

W vid🎉

Hey I'm walkin' ere'

Such a great video on such a tragic incident. Another banger of a video! Well done<3

noodles fing sucks at explaining. also accent undermines any credibility.

watched the full video yet, so i dont know if you inserted the clip here, but some austrian tourists (hehe my country) filmed themselves while on the lift. Luckily they didnt come to the bottom

Great work sir

this case was a disaster from the onset . Rob Pope had earlier been publicly humiliated in a earlier case that involved a lady called Victoria Calder. Pope alleged Calder had poisoned her then partner David Lloyd , a professor from one of the universities in Christchurch . . Calder was university educated and a clean skin when it came to convictions. Calder also had one of NZ's best lawyers in Judith Ablett Kerr KC to defend her. after 2 trials Calder was acquitted . I believe this case was the catalyst and set in motion what was to happen next . the next 2 cases for Pope involved Scott Watson and Timothy Taylor . both had form in the shape of criminal convictions making them both easy targets . Taylor is the more badder of the 2 as he has a conviction for rape .I am most certianly not trying to candy coat Taylor.. on the other hand Watson is what many describe as a petty criminal . Had there been no convictions in both trials questions would have rightfully been raised about Pope and his ability to investigate serious crime or wear a police uniform at all . More importantly questions of who appointed him to this position . I have always beleived the Calder case was the catalyst for Pope's next 2 cases and set in motion what happened to both Watson and Taylor . Watson and Taylor were merely collateral damage for people like Pope and Fitzgerald to further their careers. Empathy , fair play, insight and the search for truth and justice were far from the minds of Pope and Fitzgerald when it came to their own career interests. People like Pope hide behind the argument that if you are convicted in court thats it, your guilty . That is so far from reality . we have cases like Arthur Alan Thomas who was twice convicted of murder only later to be pardoned .Pope chose not to listen to many people that talked about a 2 masted ketch as it contradicted what he wanted for his career . It is frighetning that people like Pope,and the notorious bent kiwi copper John Hughes are allowed to act carte blanche make up whaetver they like , say whatever they like and not be held accountable . If they can do this to Watson , Taylor, Thomas and Tamihere they can do it to anyone's son , daughter, brother, sister , husband or wife . The truth , fair play and justice and the laws of society should always be held above the percieved reputations of people like Pope, Hughes , or lawyers and legal people that make their careers on cases like this

I was a Lift Operator at a small ski resort. We where underpaid (min. wage) and receive hardly any safty training. The only safely training we had was if a customer falls while getting to the lift chair, push the emergency stop button. As a side note. There was a policy in place where if there is lightning in the area, then the whole place gets shutdown. 1 day, it was a cloudy day with very heavy fog (could see anything 100 feet out. Then everybody heard very loud thunder. They kept everything up and running because nobody saw the lighting. How could anybody see any lightning in a very dense fog?
