I bought 800 euros today and was surprised at the price. Much better than i was expecting.

I have been wondering why the web cams from the top lift at ADH has been out of order for the last few days.

Seems i just stumbled across the reason why. Looks like a bloody good reason though.

The child involved has sadly died.

It doesn't state if a safety bar was installed or being used.

I think that would be solution......until someone gets a ski wrapped up in a strap and can't get off!

i think the best solution would be a design that closes the bar automatically on exiting the lift station.

With respect i don't think that is the point.

The key point here is safety. He doesn't need to know how much skiing she has under her belt, that is irrelevant. The important thing here is that he could see she was too small to reach the safety bar.

Children are to young and often too fearless to make their own decisions.
