The other thing you sometimes hear about is the chair lift being switched off at night with someone still on it. The only case I can remember now is in the old cult Austria TV drama, Piefke Saga. But I am told it happens in real life sometimes.
This happened for real on lift 45 in Les Arcs. It was many years ago now, but at the end of the operating time, typically the staff take the chair number, watch that chair round the circuit twice, then switch off the lift. No-one saw someone get on the lift. It's a very exposed lift at Arc 2000, and the passenger was found dead next morning when the lift was switched on, still in the chair. The lift staff there, were very strict about folks getting late lifts after that.
