Lift Blog Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I received photos purported to show a chair which fell off the Sullivan Express today. I have asked Camelback for a media statement. Does anyone know anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I hate people on social media. If it happened or not, camelback isn’t going to post anything to their social media accounts immediately (especially if it involves injury) yet you see no comments on if they shut the lift down or not afterwards, which it’s assumed they did.

saltyant Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I rode Sullivan Lift several times on Tuesday. It was running but kept stopping for no apparent reason, so I got fed up and moved to Stevenson which didn't stop. I don't know much about chair lifts and maintenance required, but this appears highly irresponsible. WTF? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRacer Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 I have a feeling it might be down for maintenance for a while now...I have a feeling I won't be spending a penny at that place again. Vibes to the family. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 Guys, it’s a detachable lift. It’s mechanical, mechanical things can fail at any given time regardless of the amount of maintenance put into it, chalk it up as an accident because until it’s proven otherwise, that’s what it was.

The lift ran for 26 years without a chairlift full of people falling so they had a pretty good run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 22, 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2021 This one was pretty bad. A fighter jet clipped the wire of a cable car in Europe sending 20 people plummeting to their deaths. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalese_cable_car_disaster_(1998) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
