I’ve been to heavenly the mountain and the landscape is absolutely amazing I’ve never seen anything like it. The ticket price is also unbelievable there is no reason this piece of equipment should have failed for lack of maintenance
You can get a pass for less than $400 a year during Black Friday to go to about seven different resorts. It has nothing to do with being rich. I bet you spend more money on cigarettes than people do snowboarding and skiing

How about more information about the people involved in the Lake Tahoe incident. What ski resort & what hospital like Reno?
Going to the US is like visiting a 3rd world country now. People from Burma come over here and tell others back home that it’s dangerous and the rides are total sketch.
This is absolutely not a 3rd world problem. Give thanks this Holiday Season, even if you don't have much you are wealthy compared to most of the world.
If you ever watched Pakistani Truckers you would know that repairing and maintaining aging equipment is absolutely a 3rd world problem, as well as a lack of safety regulations or enforcement that a 1st world country is presumed to have.
that break in the metal beam, it's hollow. Stress over time from constant flexing eventually jst caused it to break probably. It would b a design flaw and they need to replace those hollow beams with something that either thicker and do not flex as much, or have a second beam as a backup in case one beam develops a crack. If beam cracks and there is only one, it's going to happen again.
"Injured and rushed to hospital" could mean life altering or nothing more than some bruises. I feel like they owe it to the public to disclose more than that.
Oh boy! That was one of my top fears when I used to ski….mechanical issues aside, your ski pants are incredibly slippery and it feels like you may accidentally slide off the lift when the lift jerks forward..
Keep in mind that despite this tragedy, the injury rate is 0.14 injuries per 100 million miles travelled on a skin lift and the majority of those injuries is from getting on and off the lift. You're chances of being injured when driving to and from the resort is 29000% higher than using the lift.
I was on a ski lift once. It was where I discovered my fear of heights. While it was beautiful, I would be hesitant to do it again. Watching this video certainly didn’t help.
Hopefully, they’ll all make a speedy recovery and be back soon living their best lives! On a lighter note, at least 5 people have become multi millionaires in the making! 😮
There has been no regular maintenance during the last 5 shitty years. I don't blame them. I was in Heavenly February 2020. I was practically the only one there. It was a Ghosttown.
@@AntoineWilliams7118 is there any evidence that the state has actually decreased the rules around any of this? I'd genuinely like to know. Some random person just saying "deregulation" in the TH-cam comments doesn't make it so.
Glad I don't downhill ski anymore. When I was a kid my father the doctor had to help someone who was gored by a ski pole and it went on from there. Bad enough the slopes can be dangerous, but when it is the chairs...
“ in europe they all use this bar for your safety, here in murricah we dont give af, because if everything goes well we look tough, the moment it will go wrong, we all will be like OMG, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE, HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN” Well use the bar maybe?
Everyone seems to be blaiming the resort, and that is fair, but I expect the true problem lies in the actual maintenance people themselves. Someone did shoddy work and the inspector, supervisor, did shoddy work. I think this is reflective of the work ethic of people today more than corporate greed--which is also a problem. But for everyone watching this, ask yourself if you are doing everything you should be doing at work or if you are doing shoddy work that the customer will be affected by.
People are not smart to go out on the holidays their lucky first responders were even able to respond sometimes they can’t , because theirs a storm where you have to wait it out . Yeup that’s why me and my ex wife are ex she keeps wanting to go to ski resorts on Christmas and new years worse experience being stranded there in a snow storm and cops even warned us if you go up there first team responders can’t respond on time, because of the storm she still went up there … a accident happened to her friend where it was a life threatening situation we had to wait 3 days which felt like a week before the first responders showed up . I told her dummy that it was a bad idea and she didn’t listen even the cop at the bottom said it was a bad idea . Some people just don’t understand until they experience it themselves. I rather be the guy who understands the picture where I don’t have to be put in that situation .
Don't they charge up the ass for those tickets? Shouldn't some of that extremely expensive cost go into maintaining and repairing those lifts? Shame on you, Heavenly and Vail Resorts. You make us look like a third-world country.
This is what happens when companies cheap out on maintenance.
Exactly.

Not really.Stock is down 60% of its all time high.
That will crush it further .
Ok, just another company doing what they do best.
God forbid they spend the $200 ticket price on maintenance and cut into profits.
That's would just be horrible if they had to cut into profits
God forbid people walk
Walk up the ski hill? That’s ignorance
@@chiquita683great idea. Have everyone walk up a steep and slippery incline while other skiers are flying down. Definitely not dangerous at all

Heavenly is the resort at Lake Tahoe where this incident occurred.

at Mt. Rose ski resort🏔️
My top tricks this winter: 720 backside, Frontside lip press to 270 out, and 30-foot fall, flop, and roll from the chair.
at least they got ice on it right away...
One of the many reasons I won't go skiing. It is a dangerous and terribly cold activity. Lets stay indoors for winter.
Poor cupcake
No.

To do daily maintenance or get sued.. Pay what $1000 - $2500 a week to do check or pay $100,000 - $1 million in Lawsuit..
This is crazy news for a person who has been researching and planning a ski trip...
I got out of a timeshare in Winter Park that was killing me.
Will you weren't that bright to get into it in the first place
This is why I only ski on the bunny hill.
You're braver than I.
I just stay in the lodge w/ ski bunnies.
Man, making my sidecars look perfectly safe and sane!
Rich people problems
Money is at the job if you are able bodied
I don't know what's with you and all these other bots that think you have to be rich to snowboard and ski.
Need to start asking about the maintenance report
...meanwhile no one was hurt but there were rich people involved so that made it newsworthy.
The people that fell from the chairlift were hurt, weren’t they?
This is absolutely not a 3rd world problem. Give thanks this Holiday Season, even if you don't have much you are wealthy compared to most of the world.
ahh the luxury to snow ski
Skiing is not a rich persons activity in most snowy countries. Even the poorest people ski in Russia, Sweden and Finland.
It's how they get around.
@@spencerhardy8667 Two diff scenario. Does this look like a necessity ?
McDonald and Starbuck are not necessities either.

I don’t trust ski lifts
You're more likely to die in your car on the way to the resort than get hurt on a ski lift
I agree! I’m still scared of them though. I got on it once, but never again. 🤣

No reports of any injuries during the attorney stampede..
Used to know a lift mechanic in Tahoe... His personal cars were in a constant state of disrepair. USA is cooked.

I lived in Winter Park beautiful place.
It wasn't Lake Tahoe. Correct your error.
Nobody got hurt you said at the end, at the beginning you said 5 injured, you contradicted yourself 😂
"and tonight that chairlift is under investigation..."
unfortunately, it has lawyered up.
This is what happens with deregulation, folks.
What exactly was deregulated that led to this?
No it’s not it’s corporate greed. What regulations being done away with caused it? Wait you can’t name one? Liberal nut job.
Less inspections
Less scheduled maintenance
Less over sight
Equals more damages

That’s right! We don’t have enough government! Bad things never happened in Soviet Russia!
$200 a day to use the mountain which means use the broken chairlift. Just sue Vail Resorts, they deserve it.
I will not be getting on one of those unmaintained lifts ever.

This is why we need men
The first responders that conduct lift evacuations, the Ski Patrol, has plenty of female members. Gender has nothing to do with this
you're just trying to convince people you're male
@@gezafisch4030 They used for cleaning the mens gear only
Yoy don't need men you need God and a wife
But ONLY for certain situations. Like a manservant.
This is what a 500 dollar fay pass gets for you
Everybody who goes skiing breaks their leg anyway.
Skiing is dumb and chair lifts are even dumber
$300 a day and no maintenance.
A chairlift evac is neither a "Plunge", nor is it dramatic!
Two separate incidents reported, dude.
Everyone seems to be blaiming the resort, and that is fair, but I expect the true problem lies in the actual maintenance people themselves. Someone did shoddy work and the inspector, supervisor, did shoddy work. I think this is reflective of the work ethic of people today more than corporate greed--which is also a problem. But for everyone watching this, ask yourself if you are doing everything you should be doing at work or if you are doing shoddy work that the customer will be affected by.
Thank god the USA has universal health care to deny everyone’s claims that got hurt here. Thoughts and denied claims.
"Chairlift" or "Gondola"? Which is it??
Well, they plunged doing what they loved best. Thoughts and prayers.
Why do they need to have all these regulations?
Noone plunged to the ground, they were rescued.
this would be acceptable in a poor third world country, but a US resort? Really?
Of course! This is typical US malpractice. Americans are great at this.
Intensely first world problem
You sign your life away when you purchase a lift ticket
But powder days are epic

OMG ABC get your facts straight- this happened in Colorado.
The video first told us about Heavenly Valley in Lake Tahoe, CA and then segued to the Colorado gondola story.
Is Biden going to pardon the ski lift?
I KNEW that i wasnt the idiot for not trusting thise damn things!
