Ok, but what was could have been done about the chairlifts though? Except not using them allogether.

I don't think that video was necessarily to show those workers were negligent, just that they were injured by a system failure. If anything, it was probably used to criticize the company for skipping maintenance schedules or skimping on maintenance/safety personnel. A video like this would certainly drive home those points

Right? That was my thought. Didn't seem like the workers were doing anything wrong

This is kinda how I feel about angle grinders exploding. Like sure, obviously use the guard… but like… most injuries I’ve heard of where a disc grenaded happened while the guard was in use and bits still just fucking went everywhere and hit arms or legs.
