According to the Georgian TV channel Imedi, a total of 11 people were injured in the accident at the Gudauri ski lift, including tourists from Russia, Ukraine and Sweden. Six of them who received the most serious injuries, including a pregnant woman, will be sent by helicopters from the Gudauri hospital to the Tbilisi hospitals, writes RBC.
According to preliminary data, the cause of the accident was a power outage and a brake system malfunction, as a result of which the overhead seats with skiers going uphill rolled backwards. On the way, they managed to pick up such a speed that on the turntable they threw them out with force.
Eyewitnesses made several video recordings of the incident, which show how people are scattered from the lift, and some try to jump from their seats before the impact.
