Yep. Going backwards is the only time anybody should jump off a lift, but if it happens, get out as quick as you can.

Once they get unbalanced like that it is hard to stop.

They rely somewhat on the weight going up as a brake or counter force. If you look at the video there are no chairs/people going back up.

It’s freewheeling backwards.

Power has nothing to do with it just gravity. Well, maybe lack of power.

They do have a braking system but looks to have failed here.
