The video shows the lift traveling in the wrong direction before throwing tourists in different directions.

The publication reports 10 people suffered minor injuries, and a Ukrainian citizen broke his hand.

The incident in Georgia comes less than two weeks after a situation at Bear Mountain Resort in California in which a 5-year-old girl slipped off a ski lift and fell. Fortunately, several people were able to catch the girl.
