Different angle and aftermath in comments

The ski lift ropeway, which transports skiers in Georgia’s Gudauri resort, has been damaged.

According to local media, the defect to the lifts meant that it sped up to double the normal speed and threw people off of their chairs as it tried to ascend.

Whilst no serious injuries have been reported as of yet, people were left “shaken and shocked”, as the ski lift threw people off of their seats and into the snow.
