Unsafe Ski Lift Operation Leads to Fatal Accident
Updated on
Case Overview
This case involves injury at a ski resort in Vermont due to unsafe operation of a chairlift. On the date of the incident in question, a 22 year old female boarded a ski lift along with several of her friends. The lift appeared to be overcrowded, and witnesses attested to the fact that it seemed like there were too many people on the lift. As the lift started to ascend, the girl began slipping from her seat. The girl and her friends started to yell to the ski operator for help, but the operator was not paying attention at the time. The girl eventually slipped out of the chair and fell more than 30 feet to her death. It was claimed that the operator should not have allowed that many individuals to ride the lift at the same time.
