SUGARLOAF CHAIRLIFT DERAILS

December 29th 2010 11:49
An older Borvig-model chairlift derailed yesterday at Sugarloaf
Mountain in western Maine.

The drive cable slipped off one the lift tower sheaves which the cable
is guided up hill on. Chairs dropped over 25-ft, injuring seven customers.

Some riders, who were close enough to the ground when the cable
yo-yoed downwards had the good sense to jump off before their chair
sprung skyward again.

Thankfully, there were no fatalities.
