Stalled gondola carrier leads to collision with minor injuries

A carrier being conveyed through the station stalled at the cabin door opening system due to the cabin doors not being free to move. At that point an attendant initiated an emergency stop. A carrier following the stalled cabin then bumped into the stalled carrier as the ropeway decelerated to stop.

Because the doors were not free to move, the carrier door opening mechanism sustained damage and stalled the carrier as it engaged with the door opening ramp. The adjacent following carrier then bumped into the stalled carrier as the ropeway decelerated to a stop.
