I'm trying to figure out what's going on with this guy?

Attachment 69611

Lack of proper maintenance by the ski resort.

He dove off the lift and is wallowing away with his skis on.

I saw a youtube video of a mechanical engineer type person pontificating about this accident and what likely caused it to happen. What I remember him saying is that a ski lift has an unbalanced load. Everyone is on the up side, so as a safety device, there is some sort of braking system that is supposed to prevent the lift from running backwards in the event that the motor shuts off. He seemed to think that regular inspections were required of this braking system and that this ski resort was negligent in that area. The motor stopped, the brakes didn't work, and the ski lift ran backwards with all that weight of people on the one side. It picked up speed and was flinging people off like crazy as the chairs piled up into each other on the bottom.

Skiers had to jump, as many did, or get flung off, or hold on for dear life and get smashed into the pile up of chairs.

They were lucky the chairs are close to the ground. Eastern Europe?

It didn't register it was running backward, that sure adds to the confusion. At least after they were all beat up they were at the bottom and didn't have to limp down the mountain. :blush:

Georgia according to youtube comments...

Is there a way to pause GIF's?

The only way I know is turning on the snipping tool will stop it dead, but somebody may have a better answer.

Not to conveniently pause it; but, with a mouse you can left click while moving the cursor across the GIF so it will grab a frame from the GIF and drag it aside allowing you to study it. As long as you keep the mouse button held down, it's like viewing a paused GIF. With my notebook, it automatically makes the GIF frame go full window.

Tamp it, tamp it good...
