You see this occasionally at crappy small resorts with old lifts and bad maintenance practices but KHMR?
This is legit shocking (the arm itself broke in half, not the grip) but Murray's been doing the bare minimum for maintenance at his resorts for years now. They're so lucky this happened as the gondola was leaving the station and not over one of the many high altitude / steep drops along the route or over the grizzly bear enclosure.

It's not even close to the first gondola drop in the RCR network though - both Tremblant and Mont-Sainte-Anne have had gondola incidents in the last few years including one each that resulted in fatalities / sever injuries. In Quebec they're even talking about removing RCR as an operator due to breach of contract (the government owns the resort itself and licenses operations out to RCR).

I for one am very glad we're giving this human, who has shown nothing but the finest of character, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars to build and profit off an arena in our city.
