Did the motor/brake fail leaving it to reverse under the weight of the skiers?

Sugarloaf rollback....
"The gearbox failure effectively de-coupled the bullwheel from the lift's primary service brake, which is located on the drive shaft between the two gearboxes, and its anti-reverse brake, which is the first of three redundant backup mechanisms for preventing reverse travel.
At this point, the emergency bullwheel brake, which uses calipers to apply braking pressure to the flange of the bullwheel itself, was applied by the lift attendant. This brake slowed the speed of the rollback and ultimately brought the lift to a stop. The application of the emergency brake by the lift attendant likely prevented a more extensive rollback."

Staying on for the quick turn into the pile of broken chairs rates an 11, possibly a 13.
I think the view of the pile of increasingly battered chairs led those on the chairs to underrate the danger. By the time they could see their mistake it was too late.

Public Safety is at risk ...
We have ASME National Standards that define minimum requirements for similar systems such as escalators and elevators.

That stuff is everywhere. I've always admired it when riding ski lifts.

Either we're missing something in the translation or they need a serious revamp of their backup power process...
