It was a saftey test.......
I have not seen this video in years btw, they show it during training for lift operators. One thing I remember is, hit the emergency stop button if it keeps rolling back run like fucking hell.
they were taking down the lift, i think this was filmed at a-basin.
so instead of just taking it apart they decided to see what would happen if the emergency rollback failed. they weighted the chairs with cinderblocks to simulate skiers on the lift.
