This is one of the scariest things we have ever seen. Chairlifts loaded with skiers and snowboards comes lose from a tower in high winds and crashing to earth.

Translation from comment from our facebook fan Charles Jonas: “Exactly one year ago today that Jime and Jose with my had an accident in a cathedral hill chairlift. Our intention was always to show this video, we did not want exposed.
The truth is that at that time, staff of the company that has the concession of the hill Alta Patagonia, and even the owner came to us and after they see the video promised not to operate the lifts until they have the necessary modifications so this does not happen again.
The problem is that this did not happen and that is the real reason for the complaint, now a year old still works the same way last week, there was another accident.
It is a shame that such a beautiful city as Bariloche be overshadowed by something like this.
For myself and on behalf of my cousin Jimena Naife Jose Verdu and we’re going to stay calm as our only condition was that this does not happen again, and we see repeated.
And where you’re going on vacation? …”
