OK, I'm just going to venture a guess that this registered somewhere around a 9.2 on the pucker meter. :eek:

Gondola tower collapse at Whistler (http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/392475_whistler17.html?source=mypi)

Could have been worse...

The resort said in a news release that the gondola section where the incident took place is about 30 feet above the ground.

After today I'm sure everyone is feeling real confident in this beauty. :D

The resort just unveiled a new lift connecting the peaks of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains, the highest lift in the world at 1,427 feet above the ground. It was not affected by Tuesday's collapse, which was on another lift.

The crack safety inspection team had recently given the support tower a clean bill of health, eh.
