Did she die from shock? because the article just says she was stuck no real other details.
So I am left to assume she was stuck on the chair and the fear of everything caused shock and she died?
What a terrible loss 🙁

Not 100% sure what happened here but one rule when loading a chairlift in Australia is to take your backpack off before loading.

Isn’t this the second time someone died like this ? Didn’t a boy die recently in Japan because of a ski lift ?

Whiplash of being pulled around the corner at speed, intersecting with fences or cabins

Tragic news, she was so young. Rest in peace Brooke.

So tragic and sad. Also thinking of the people on the lift behind who would have witnessed it, and probably stayed stuck on the chairlift while they rescued/retrieved her.

Rest in peace to this poor young lady. And sympathies to her family and friends ❤️

RIP poor girl such a tragic loss. Japan is NOT a safe place to Ski or Snowboard. There’s a disconnect to safety they show in general society compared to the snowfields. Have skied for over 40 years…all over the world and have never been as fearful than in Japan. Be aware …poor safety starts from the moment you step on to the sidewalk..

Usually lifts are at specific locations so if something happens it does take time for help to arrive or to even notice if something happened.
If you were to actually think about it, such is unsafe or uncertain.

Chair lifts scare the absolute shit out of me.
