Riders getting up after falling
Two weeks ago I was snowsurfin at a really fun park. Having the time of my life, when oh-oh..mother nature called. Even though it was just half an hour before the lift closed, I couldn’t wait. When you have to go…you just have to go. So I decided to give a lil visit to a hotel above the lift. When I came back ( a bit lighter :) ) I saw my friend getting of the lift, she went like 3m away from it and WHAM!!! The whole thing fell!!! OMG! luckily no one got hurt, since it was just a small lift, but still the cable pulling it is in a lot of tention and then when it’s released the flying cable could seriously hurt someone. Well, thinking about it..if I didn’t “need to go” then I would have been on that lift. Kinda weird realizing this. I mean noone got hurt, but what if I would…what if :S
Well, after I had a nice ride down to the town, so here are a few photos. Oh and I got surprised on the parking lot, unfortunately it wasn’t my ride :/

yeah….I dont think the lifts are suppose to do that. But it is a little Poma Lift after all.

Yeah small Poma, but still the cable is strong enough to hurt someone. Heh..chevy’s, well there are a few here already. But they were rare before a lot :)
