snoskier Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Looks like the wind derailed the cable on one of the lifts sugarloaf in ME.

sibhusky Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Good reason to put the bar down. Won't always save you, but it would cut down on the likelihood a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSSucks Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 oh that was just a super long span. i see. still though, wouldnt stops on the pulleys prevent that? One would think so, and even if it was an old lift I would hope there was some kind of stops on the pulleys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
