Dramatic video captured images of skiiers being thrown off of a malfunctioning ski lift at a resort in the country of Georgia Friday.
Authorities said at least 10 people were injured when the ski lift at the Gudauri resort began running at high speed, in reverse.

How the frick does that even mechanically occur?

Why in the frick did the last group not bail like the first group did?
Just sitting there like blissful dumbasses...were they planning on riding back up to the top in reverse?

The video goes on Fyi. there's what looks like a single guy in Red that must get throw far AF and then what looks like a young girl or maybe small lady get caught on the chair and flung into that wreckage.

Is it bad that I'm laughing? Hope no one was hurt.

The one side without passengers has no weight, so I'm curious how fast it would go backwards with all the weight on the one side headed down hill? It almost looks to me like maybe the machine just lost power and gravity simply pulled the machine backward?
Are all the lifts in Europe backwards like this? All the lifts I've ever taken you load and go up the right side, this is the opposite?

Almost looked like a 8 year old girl or so. I was thinking she was with some family or friends that all jumped first and she was scared. She took the worst of it for sure.

I think they were scared, but also someone seemed to be caught by a strap or something.
Did they get sucked into the pile of seats?
