The idea of a failing ski lift is not fun. It’s not something that sticks in my mind every time I get to the resort, but it’s something that appears every time the lift makes a sudden and unexpected stop.

I remember when a ski lift at my home mountain experienced a rollback. I wasn’t on it at the time, but the stories were pretty horrific, and it left a lot of us pretty nervous around the mountain.

This video was posted both to X (formerly twitter) and YouTube by what appears to be one user based in Hong Kong, Akin. Unfortunately, that’s just about all of the information available with a rather deep dig into the internet. If anyone knows where this occurred or has more information as to exactly what happened, please let us know.

The lift itself is fairly confusing. I can’t quite figure out what’s going on with the perspective in this clip. It seems like the person fell onto some pads, so hopefully they were okay.
