Chair incident

[Lift Blog]

I received photos purported to show a chair which fell off the Sullivan Express today. I have asked Camelback for a media statement. Does anyone know anything?

[Kyle]

Following this one for sure. If true, hope no one was on it

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Can you post the photos. 

[antman12]

Appears to be true. 

[RidgeRacer]

What does fb say? Saw these comments on Instagram. If this is truly hope everyone is ok.

Assholes

need pics.

[Kyle]

I hate people on social media. If it happened or not, camelback isn’t going to post anything to their social media accounts immediately (especially if it involves injury) yet you see no comments on if they shut the lift down or not afterwards, which it’s assumed they did.

wasn't this lift just down the other day? or was that another one somebody was complaining about?

Yup 

I have a feeling it might be down for maintenance for a while now...

[saltyant]

I rode Sullivan Lift several times on Tuesday. It was running but kept stopping for no apparent reason, so I got fed up and moved to Stevenson which didn't stop. 

I don't know much about chair lifts and maintenance required, but this appears highly irresponsible. WTF?

I have a feeling I won't be spending a penny at that place again. Vibes to the family.

Guys, it’s a detachable lift. It’s mechanical, mechanical things can fail at any given time regardless of the amount of maintenance put into it, chalk it up as an accident because until it’s proven otherwise, that’s what it was.

Accidents happen. The lift ran for 26 years without a chairlift full of people falling so they had a pretty good run.

Don't rush to judgement. Similar things have happened elsewhere. Timberline Lodge, Thredbo Australia, Mt. Bachelor.

Reminds me of this song..in like two days my mom is gonna ask me if I heard about this lol

This one was pretty bad.  A fighter jet clipped the wire of a cable car in Europe sending 20 people plummeting to their deaths.
