A chair on Whistler Blackcomb’s Harmony lift dropped eight meters to the ground on Wednesday thanks to a “broken bolt,” according to a story in the Vancouver Sun.
The incident is the second involving Whistler chairlifts since December 16, when part of the Excalibur gondola collapsed after a support tower filled with water which later froze and buckled the pole. It was later revealed that a technician had performed a safety check on the Excalibur tower just minutes before the collapse.
Luckily, no one was on the lift at the time,
