Oh, it's true that headlines will screech more dramatically than the event warrants, much of the time. Still, every skier has an intense interest in lift safety, even those of us not particularly bothered by acrophobia!

Those skiers on the lift, and the resort, were lucky this happened where it did, I guess. Had it happened to a tower farther up the mountain, might the risk of death and injury been much greater?

How do they test welds on the other towers?
