At least ten people were injured in a ski-lift crush in Georgia’s mountain resort of Gudauri.

The citizens of Georgia, Ukraine, Russia and Sweden were reportedly taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

A ski lift malfunction was reported at Sadzele mountain ski trail in Gudauri in the morning on 16 March. There was an emergency stop after which the ski lift chairs started sliding back. The riders had to jump off the ski lift to survive.
According to the Georgian Healthcare Minister, David Sergeenko, 8 people turned to the Gudauri-based medical emergency clinic.

“Luckily no one was killed or seriously injured. There are two patients, the nationals of Ukraine and Sweden, who still need to be paid particular attention,” said David Sergeenko. According to the Georgian Healthcare Minister, the Ukrainian citizen has an open fracture of a forearm, while another injured person, a Swedish national, is a pregnant woman. Both of them have been transported from Gudauri to Tbilisi by helicopter.

The Georgian Ministry of Interior has instituted criminal proceedings under Article 275 of the Criminal Code of Georgia – “violation of safety regulations or procedures for the operation of the railway, water, air or cableway transport traffic”.

From Jobaka's post it sounds like the drive motor failed and the emergency stop did as well, and the heavy side of the lift (the side with skiers headed up the mountain) was pulled back down by gravity. Later portion of the video would seem to confirm that when a chair came down the hill with the people still facing up the hill then dumped them on their faces as it went around the corner.

Duh. Ok I am stupid. I didn't even notice the obvious that the chairs are backwards.

I wondered why someone didn’t hit the emergency stop

The E stop would engage the same components that failed. IE the brake.

Same as elevators. The typical wire roped elevator has a counterweight that is 125% heavier than the fully loaded cab. Typical cab weights are between 2500-3000 lbs. If a major failure happens, the elevator falls UP. Unless Snide and DW are there, then maybe it slowly sinks down.

So if you're alone in a large elevator and there is a major failure, rest assured they'll be scraping you off the ceiling and not the floor.
