It’s been a long time since I took ACLS, but from what I recall, the only shockable rhythms are v-fib and v-tach. Both of which an AED will shock. Flatline is not a shockable rhythm contrary to what tv will show you.

It’s a bummer for everyone involved no matter who is at fault. Not much mention of the witnesses yet. Can you imagine hopping in the truck that morning to spin some laps with your bro’s or your family and ending up on the chair behind this guy. I’ve never seen a hanging. I don’t want to. I certainly don’t want to be on a chair with my buddy’s 4 yo trying to shield her from the situation.

At the risk of receiving a hail storm of abuse...Are US lifts so different from Euro lifts?
I have heard of this happening over 'ere...once? maybe in all my 35 years and that was a kid who was trapped under the safety bar by another group (inexplicably) not paying attention.
The notion of a liftie crew requiring a 'catch blanket'.....How?!?!?
(RIP the guy )

Last area I worked we did "Hanger Drills" to train for the event where a skier fucked up the mid-station unload and was.... left hanging.
Ultimately Vail will be at fault in this instance but many/most humans are such moronic retards when it comes to ski lifts.I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

nah, you euros don’t go for that one death at a time thing... why bother when you can rip a whole chairload off at one time with your winch cat cable?

I feel for the lift op(s) who fucked this up. It's probably going to be a long hard road psychologically. Not an easy thing to come to terms with.

Yes focus is surely on compression now.

This is correct. PEA arrest, or "flatline" is not a shockable rhythm. Only high-quality CPR, meds (epi/amio/etc) and crossed fingers will save you in PEA.
Also, despite what the medical dramas would have you believe hospitals no longer have "paddles", our defibrillators aren't entirely dissimilar to AED's Joe schmo might use, the main difference being a built in monitor and greater ability to adjust energy delivered and in what manner.

I'd say the most important thing would be to devise a system that keeps the seat down. It shouldn't be that difficult to come up with something that mechanically connects the seat to the frame that can be connected in the time the chair is passing through the bottom station. Some kind of sensor to ensure the seat is down would be the secondary system.
