The responses had me shocked👀 Could You Press A Button to Make a Million Dollars Knowing Someone Dies?👇🏻 kzhead.info/sun/nNeaaa6vh55ufpE/bejne.html
Depends on 'someone'. Lot's of evil out there...I'd press that button for free.
I want to say this was the plot of an episode of the Twilight Zone that played in the 1980's. The 'button' was offered to an impoverished couple, in which the man wouldn't push the button, and was justifying it by stating the person that might die might be an innocent person. The wife disagreed. She hit the button. The man who offered the button returned to take the device back, in which it was given to another family to make the same decision. The twist is that the people who pushed the button were the people to die, whilst the person who decided not to push the button, got the money, I want to say in the form of an insurance settlement. Kinda like that story about the monkey paw or some other some such.
I’d press it for $10
So... would I kill a person for a million dollars?? Ah... no.
ID SMASH THAT BUTTON
seeing how all those random people working together in the face of a disaster is actually inspiring.
What’d you expect them to do? Just walk away?
@@bigt2731you might not expect an answer like mine, but I guess the Americans would be discouraged from helping each other because they'd be scared to death that any of the skiers falling incorrectly could sue the helping person to destroy their life.
@@Alarix246 Sad, but true!
@@bigt2731What do you mean everybody I know runs from everything. I don't know what planet you're from but here everybody runs like a bunch of pussies. So yes it was inspiring to actually see a bunch of pussies work together
I was a little frightened about ski lifts, and this didn't help at all. So glad everyone was able to get down safely though.
Impressive how they worked together well to get most skiers to jump off early before crashing into the tower and then helped them to clear the path for the next ones. This mostly worked and prevented many injuries. Amazingly even those that were thrown around the tower did not have serious injuries.
Not impressive, expected.
Impressive? You see this mess in front of you, you jump.
but they didnt so youre a dot ard. look at the lifeless people getting hit over and over while everyone just watches lol
Supposedly a brake failure. The mountain operator is responsible to see that brake failures don't occur. They're preventable, NOT inevitable. Negligence.
Your supposed to ride your skis/board downhill if your smart
During my college years, I spent time working as a lift operator. We trained extensively for roll back accidents like this. Every morning we had to manually pull the emergency brake on each lift to make sure it worked. If it didn’t work, the chair was deemed inoperable. We also tested the emergency back up generator on each chair every morning before opening. Because generator and manual brake checking is done every morning on every lift everywhere I have ever heard of, how did this happen? This was awful to watch. May this never happen again!
It's Georgia, ex Soviet republic. They probably had lax safety standards or corrupt managers cutting corners.
It happened because it was at a ski resort you didn't work at. So, in a way, yes, it was your fault. You should have worked at that ski resort.
It happened because your girlfriend chose me
😂@@drewodessa2483
Seems like the first Russian lift has some inspections to catch up on. Sounds about right 😬
You wont believe it but i was there, I refused to go skiing that day and stayed for hot chocolate, I'm from georgia and this was a very traumatic moment, My family is all safe though, what a miracle I was lazy...
Thank goodness you WERE lazy that day......
You're right. I don't believe you.
@@Wayzor_ Fair enough, some people lie so that can happen.
Omg yo-yo so lucky
Me too
For anyone wondering what is happening this is a lift rollback meaning the brakes have failed and the lift is spinning freely with gravity pulling the chairs back to the base causing this situation. Like many other comments have said the people involved did a great job managing the situation and preventing a much worse scenario. Also lift rollbacks like this are super unlikely to occur.
If it has its own term to describe it "lift rollback" than it must not be that uncommon. And why no emergency stop mechanism? Like an industrial size clamp that would grab the line. This just feels like a poorly designed lift if something like this is known to happen yet nobody has figured a way to stop it once it starts.
ISN'T THERE A SHUT OFF BUTTON? A STOP FAIL SAFE?
@@2ndTooth I am assuming there must have been some sort of emergency stop mechanism because it did eventually stop when there was still a lot of weight on the downward-heading cable. If there were none it probably wouldn't have stopped until all, or nearly all, the weight was off that side.
@@arkwill14 if there was one it sucked cause by the time it stopped nearly everyone was already off lol
@@2ndTooth I agree with that. It certainly should have worked quicker - indeed if they even applied it in a timely manner.
How the hell did it take so long to turn it off? Seriously, WTF!!
It was going backwards. Somehow the gears unlocked from the cable that pulls them up to the top.
The emergency stop de-energizes the lines, but it doesn't force a lock on the cable. There are reasons for that. Compression of the line in any way can compromise the integrity of the cable, creating a larger hazard. Sooo... not much can be done.
Plus, if the machine wasn’t going, people might’ve been stuck near the top. Then how would they get closer to the ground? 🤔
@@enigmalfidelity that's why you install multiple stoppers on different parts of the line. I could definitely see one or even 2 clamps grabbing it and the force just tear the line but if you have 5 or 6 that all work in unison to slowly grab it then bring it to a stop eventually I could see it working. I'm no engineer but I'm sure someone in the comments is so they can tell us if it would work or not lol
It was turned of. Gravity pulled the side with people (more weight) downward.
Little guy is holding on like a champ
Yea 1:13 was inspiring.
@@suntzu4691💀
I’d get back in line tbh
OK IM SORRY FOR LAUGJING 💀 IM CACKLING UP 😭
Oh my wordddd. That was horrifying to watch...I can't imagine seeing this or hearing this in person. I am so happy nobody was critically injured. Beautiful job that everybody did helping others! Blessings from America.
Bro this is comedy 😂 I couldn't stop laughing 🤣 is that bad?
@@MONOblue1999 ehhh...I laugh at terrible shit too sometimes. I get it. LOL.
@@MONOblue1999Yes. That isn't a movie. Real event, real ppl, real danger. You could have witnessed someone die and you think it's comedy.
I enjoyed it.
I’m pretty sure I saw a few bodies laying lifeless in the pile of crushed lift chairs.
How that skier at 1:17 didn't get killed, or even seriously hurt, is absolutely astounding! It looks like he/she gets crushed up in the top of the tower and tangle of chairs. Damn!
It would be impossible to grip the metal bars strongly enough with ski gloves in order to prevent the multiple sideways g-force at the bottom from throwing you off the chair. Still safer to jump under your own control, though.
I saw EXACTLY what you are talking about and wondered that, too!! That part was TRULY horrific and you can hear it in the poor guy's voice when it happens!
@@drinnerd8532 Yeah, you can hear someone let out a cry right when it happens, probably whoever was taking the video. I'm sure the skier was thrown clear since it says nobody was badly injured, but at the moment we can't see him anymore it looks like he would be crushed in all those tangled-up chairs. Hard to watch even though I know he was OK.
They were just sitting there patiently? Like didn't they hear everyone around them screaming???
I know! Like no one ie going to comment on that ? Had to slow mo it and it looked like Yula got crushed, but thankfully she is alright!
And this is why I haven’t been out of my house in 37 years.
😂😂
and then a guy came in with a machine gun and shot up the place, so now I live in a hole--so then there was flooding and an earthquake and volcanic magma; so I just killed myself.
The smell though...
Yep! I'm going on 23 years. So much nicer!

That's a TESLA ski lift prototype. This was the beta test and they found it ran as intended with no bugs. Will be put into production by end of winter.
A moment of silence for a knucklehead that would post a comment like that.
That kid who held on is really strong. And it took guts to let go and trust people to catch him.
“Let’s go skiing they said. You’ll have fun they said…”
It really is heart warming to see people trying to help others with a sense of urgency. Like at the end with the person hanging. They helped minimise the impact. Well done
There’s nothing heartwarming here you soft marshmallow.
This is like 10 years old and still makes me laugh. Its very family guyish
The ONLY time not having the safety bar down is safer
Seriously. People wonder "why didn't Yulia jump??" - it's cuz dude on the far right pulled the safety bar down while he dropped, which also pulled down the ski rest... So lady next to him got a strap caught on the ski rest, and poor Yulia was trapped
This one of the few times I want to thank the cameraman for filming and not helping out.
I'm glad to see people helping one another. I hope everyone is alright.
So glad everyone is ok!!! God bless everyone who helped!!! Wishing much love and peace!!! Be well and safe out there guys!!!
As a kid, i was terrified of any chairlifts i came accross, nowadays, i understand why i was scared of that thing..
I’m no engineer but I worked at a ski resort for many years and did all sorts maintenance on these macinces under the supervision of an engineer and his team. Guaranteed there had been no PM or required inspections on this machine. The emergency brake and anti-rollback obviously was nonexistent.. Gravity broought the haul rope ( cable) downward. All simple physics at that point. Totally avoidable. This was a horrific situation..
That was an incredible scene. Makes me feel hope for the future of mankind to watch others helping each other.
Are you serious?
@@AshTownsend in what way?
I didn't think that much about chair lifts as a kid because they were just part of my life. I started riding them at 4 years old. But as an adult, the thought of sending my 4 year old up on a chair lift is terrifying! I am glad to see that there were no truly little children on this section of this chair life. I can't imagine being a parent trying to make the split second decision about when and how to get your preschooler or young elementary kid off that lift before the chair crashed.
The realization of what our parents let us do is kind of head scratching once you have your own kids. Pretty wild.
@@stroso83This made me think of my teacher lecturing us all in class one day about how when he was young he had to do way more things than we’d ever understand because we were overprotected. It started with a kid saying he didn’t want to go alone to the office because it scared him to go through the dim hallways. My teacher listed a bunch of places he’d had to go to and things he’d had to do by himself as a kid until he got to talking about how he’d been 5 walking to his friends’ houses several blocks away. Suddenly he paused and said, “yikes. My daughter’s that age. I wouldn’t let her.” And one of my classmates just blurted out, “I don’t think your parents loved you.” It was so quiet and awkward after a couple of initial chuckles. He let the kid go to the office with a buddy. I’m not saying your parents didn’t live you btw, this just tugged at that memory. I think parents back then just felt comfortable in trusting their surroundings. They had a sense of safety we will never know. I think the internet makes us so much more aware of the dangers that are lurking out there that people just a couple of decades ago wouldn’t even consider a risk. I really wonder what things that we all consider safe today will be seen as irresponsible or dangerous parenting in the future.
@@HyperWolf thanks for sharing the story and your thoughts! I think you're on to something, especially with our access to the internet.
Rather nonsensical if you ask me. Do you drive with your children in the vehicle? Look at statistics and reverse engineer my though process here.....
@@shanephillips4011 Well, it is all hypothetical for me since I'm 50 and was never able to have kids, ;). I am very well aware of the car accident stats and I didn't suggest it was logical LOL. There is something about hitting puberty and especially as I got to around 21 or 22 that I started to have really strong reactions to heights, especially in the presence of children, whereas that had never been an issue before. My discussion with a child development expert who studied parental reaction to their children clued me into the biological reasons that they think this happens to women of childbearing ages: Their theory is that we are programmed to experience certain spacial relationships and heights differently than men. Presumably, this would allow us to be more wary around places that pose a danger to small children and to react more quickly (e.g.- think they are closer to the edge of a cliff than they really are) to get to them before they tumble off. The chair lift sparks those same kinds of "over"reactions in my being.
Tech: "Now where is that stop button again..?"
I seen the same thing happen at a smaller hill in Alberta. I was in line to load on a T-bar lift when it stopped and started going backwards. I yelled at the lifty to hit the brakes and he yelled back, "I don't know how!" I quickly kicked my skis off and ran over to the lift, pulled open a small door that covered the drive shaft and stood on the brake pad which stopped the shaft from turning. The lift stopped so suddenly, it wiped out absolutely everyone on the lift and broke a whole bunch of T's off of the main cable, but at least it stopped. You couldn't really blame the lifty for that as he hadn't been properly trained to even run the lift.
Nice work bro!
My friend was with her husband and 3 kids on a lift in Colorado. It was summer so only a few people were going up. The operators accidently left them on the lift for 8 hours. When one of the operators was about to fall asleep he couldn’t remember them and went back to check. This was before cell phones.
Lifties are hired at min wage and more often then not live in the worst conditions in the area, they work the longest hours and take the abuse of hundreds of people a day. They are treated like dirt by patrons and bosses and management, no one with any sense or options would take on a job as a liftie.. but those that do, end up drinking and doing anything else to keep what there is of their mind, sane. Also this makes no sense unless it was super early in the morning as Ski patrol do an end of day sweep, this includes prior to night skiing every run and every lift is checked. As well, all lifts are cycled prior to shut down.
Humanity sure is classy. But rich people gotta ski.
@@Novastar.SaberCombat the Irony is that skiing in the 50's was considered a lower class endeavour, the 60's and 70's were hippie's and family , the 90's were the start of the downfall thanks to big Canadians companies like interwest, making cookie cutter ' villages', seriously i lived in whistler , and traveled to copper mtn, CO. , blue mtn, ON and Mt. Tremblant, QC. and they were almost identical. by the end of the 90's Skiing had become the domain of the Spore's, ( City person on rental equipment, but the owned a 1mil ski chalet off the hill side ) Along with that came mandatory helmets.. and black diamond runs that were once considered a solid blue square.. ah, don't get me started.. i went from Olympian and professional Skier, to quitting cold turkey. in the early 90's
My goodness there is a horror film about a similar situation. Never thought this could actually happen for real.
@ianskinner1619 I am always nice to the lift operators. A lot of fragile egos with something to prove on the slopes. I hate skiers, but I love to ski. Anyone working for skiers needs to be treated with kindness. Nouveau Riche and Riche are not so classy sometimes or appallingly vulgar. They think that is how one is supposed to act id they have a few dollars in their pockets. Money should have nothing to do with how one treats others! Gross people annoy me.

Reverse bull wheel! They usually have a lockout to prevent this. Was a lift operator at Mammoth around '94 and they trained about this very thing.
ever happen there ?
That's because those who put this lift together, has violated the instruction on installing brake/lockout correctly, which led to its total failure. Corruption and negligence leads to this crap.
Man that looked scary, I hope everyone recovered ok. Terrifying

The fear of letting go defeats the reality of crashing horribly.
I was chair lift operator at 18 in Bear Valley, CA. On very windy conditions we would pull the seat cushions so the wind wouldn't fling the chair sideways. Only saw the chair blow out to the side once on the turn at the bottom. That was insane 😳
Bear Valley in Tehachapi, CA?

Horrendous😱 some even thrown out from the ski lift ride, luckily many work together to signal to those coming down to jump before being thrown, great job in helping each other. 🙏🏼 everyone to be safe & well.
This is pure negligence on th part of either th lift operators or th console engineers or both. Insane, that they did not hav it turned off within 10---15 sec after the 1st couple chairs dumped/flung skiers. In fact, a 5 to 6 sec pause is about all u r allowed, at areas I've worked at (i wz ski patrol, not lift op, but we trained w them)

If you watched the video, it said only a few injuries, nothing too bad. Also it's not horrific and terrifying, using those words for a situation like this, makes those words lose their meaning. Falling off a cruise ship, seeing it sailing away from you to never be seen again is horrific and terrifying. Having to jump from a ski lift into snow at medium speed is not.

Settle down, it was just an accident.
There is no way to stop it. Thats the point. Its a mechanical failure. It stops when the weight equalizes (ie all the people fall off). The lift operator and manufacturer will argue over who was responsible, and then will settle without either taking blame.

That wasn't a ski lift. That was a ski dump.
Growing up in the 80s, I never saw a horror movie with a scene quite like this!
That is how I felt riding a ski lift. Of course, I learned to ski from a girl that had 3 more lessons than I had. The first day skiing it took me just 2 hours and 30 minutes to fall/ski down the slope. The second run was 45 minutes.
Scary stuff. When I was a kid skiing at Snowbowl in Montana the chairlift stopped and people had to be rescued with a rope to lower then out of the chairs and some spots were very high above the ground. Luckily I was already on the ground watching.

I only ride uphill lifts and only snowboard downhill
This is why contraptions like this are supposed to have a BIG red emergency STOP! button. Kept hearing “you spin me right round, like a record” in my mind btw (followed by “paging Dr Beat”)
I've been skiing once in my life, that was enough, school trip. I'm a mechanical guy and wondering is there not a redundancy built into these lifts, similar to an elevator, so when the brakes fail an emergency stop in the form of knurled jaws, would prevent the cable running backwards? 2 lightly spring loaded jaws would allow the cable to pass through normally but in the event of a stop and rollback would clamp shut on the cable. My 2 cents.
That's just the lift to the expert trail. Wait until you see the trail. It's just a cliff. This could be a scene in Final Destiny 2024. They survived the plane crash and decided to celebrate by going on a ski trip together. Coming to a theater near you.
This same thing happened on "The Hall of Presidents" just a few years ago. It was so out-of-control that Grover Cleveland was re-elected and we were all asked to leave the park.

Tahoe Valley Elementary School, 1975 or so: Everybody at school in the morning said there was an accident in the Gondola at Heavenly Valley. I guess a safety cable snapped free and cut into the car, it killed some people. One guy --I think he has a paratrooper-- jumped out onto the ski run below. I still remember that. Oh, and a guy blew up Harvey's Casino at Stateliness, but that was 1978 or something. They caught the guy about 20 years later.
If this is already happening, imaging how worst it'll get with DEI factor thrown into the mix
mostly peacfull ski from hell
No. It happened in Georgia (a country) , several years ago.
A quick call from the kiosk at the bottom of the chair lift to the top: “stop the lift mate”. Or maybe they at the bottom stop it themselves.😂😂😂😂
I remembered riding ski lifts up a mountain in a ski resort, and when we would stop at times, I would literally panic and cry out of fear. I mean, we are really high up above the steep ground, sitting on a chair with no way down until it moves again, and while having a fear of heights. I was in sixth grade at the time. I stayed the hell away from these things since then, and I’ll make sure to avoid them in the future
I dont blame you. That was your instincts telling something happened. It's like when your boss picking up your wife for Italian ice on Fridays.
My heart was in my throat the whole time watching this. I could only imagine being there and being horrified. But yet I’m reading comments were people were cracking up laughing. I just don’t get it.
i'm a driver instructor. When i show a compilation of car crashes to a new class, you'd think your in a comedy club. I think i can understand why they laugh..but.. a little more maturity and they probably wouldn't.
Because it’s hilarious lol
I find it funny because it is so bizarre seeing lift go backwards and fling people off.
They're not registering what they're seeing. Like the reply above me thinking people are just being flung off. Jumping or being flung off is the best result. Catching something as you jump is a broken leg. Not getting clear of the next chair or still being on the chair when it gets to the pile of detached ones is a life and death situation.
That is absolutely crazy. Thank God so many of them were able to safely jump out before getting flung

@@o0GrayMatters0othey have yet to find Jesus and accept him as our Lord and saviour. Until then, they'll not be saved
Have you genius also noticed that it is going the wring way?
@@profix25lodefinitely the "wring way", but it's also running backwards. What a perfect storm!
so are you saying that the covenant the LORD made with Israel is invalid@@jrea424
They'll be fine...anyone who has skied long enough knows there's a trade off between pain and pleasure. Great story too.
