A single chair on Whistler Mountain's Harmony Express chairlift tumbled to the ground early Thursday morning in what resort officials are calling an isolated incident.

    That's kinda freaky. Maybe it's the engineer in me, but every time I get on one of those I'm looking around at all the bolted connections as I'm accending. Doing quick load calcs in my head...

    How many "isolated incidents" has Whistler had this year??

    Oh I know! Doesn't stop me from looking. :lol:

    I suppose if I saw a loose or missing nut and started screaming like a girl they stop the lift while I'm still relativly close to earth... 8O

    There's a few loose nuts around here. I wish some of them would go missing!

    :lol: :lol: Kinda reminds me of the joke about the bridge to Newfoundland:

    One day a Newfoundlander is walking in a field near his farm when he comes upon a bottle. He rubs the bottle and a genie pops out. The genie says to the young Newfoundlander, "Son, you have released me, I will grant you one wish." So, the Newfie ponders it for a few minutes, and says "I want to have a bridge that will connect us to the mainland, so that it will be easier to get back and forth to the rest of Canada." The genie replies, "No, I can't do that. It's too much change, too soon. The people aren't ready for that yet." So, the Newfie thinks about it again, and says, "I'm a proud Newfoundlander and I'm sick of everyone always putting us down and calling us stupid. I want Newfoundlanders to be as smart, if not smarter, than any other Canadian." The genie thinks about this for a minute and replies, "So...do you want two lanes or four?"
