Recently on March 16th there was a ski lift accident at the Gudauri resort. Ten people have gotten injured due to the ski lift going reverse in a high speed.

Several people recorded this accident. Many people said they had to jump off the lift in order to not get injured due because of how the lifts were colliding at the bottom of the lift.  Skier Iryna Iadak from Ukrainia, was on the lift with her boyfriend.”The movement of the lift stopped and a minute later we drove back,” she told CNN. “The speed increased, it was out of control. The lift could not be stopped. People began to jump from different altitudes, panic began. Many did not manage to jump off and were thrown out from the impact.” After this incident occurred the mountain company decided to contact the ski manufacturer.
