I work for a company that makes cable for cable cars.
There's no way a cable would just snap like that. Even the thin on that snapped would easily hold 2000 lbs at least.
So now we have a "cable company worker" coming out?
Already on this "Frozen" forum we have heard from a ski lift operator, ski lift maintenance man, a ski resort hill comber, a wolf scientist, a wolf trainer, a ski lift bar designer, a frostbite survivor, and a high-wire acrobat coming out to say this movie is false.
What other jobs that people on here supposedely have that am I missing?
Hey, just because you're unemployed..... There are actually people with those jobs who have IMDB accounts and have seem this movie, just because we have jobs, doesn't mean we don't watch movies.
I don't know about you or your common sense, but a cable capable of holding AT LEAST 2000 - 3000 pounds snapping like that? To a person who makes those cables, it stands out like a Muslim in a Catholic church.

Nice try bud. In the special features on the DVD they had discussed how the sharp cables on the chair lift was a problem even for the stunt man who's weight was being lifted by wires - mind you. They had to make specially durable gloves simply to film the scene without injuring the stunt mans hands. People lying about their occupations all over the place. That or they really have no clue, which would be sad in your case if you were in that for 28 years!

How the heck can a cable be sharp? Think about that. It's a number of round metal cables twined into a thicker metal roand cable. They're constantly rolling along those metal wheels which inevitably would smoother them down even more. There is no logical way these could be sharp. They would be freezing cold but that would be the only issue.
shareHow the heck can a cable be sharp?
Fluctuating temperatures can fatigue metal.
Constant weight fluctuations can fatigue metal
Repetitive friction can fatigue metal
These alone are reasons a metal cable can become frayed- just like a rope on a pulley.

I'M A BRAIN SURGEON, AND LET ME TELL YOU YOUNG PEOPLE, THAT WATCHING THIS GROSS, DROSS FILM IS SERIOUSLY DAMAGING TO YOUR GREY MATTER.
OOPS....TOO LATE.
Listen, you fools, I'm a world-renowned professional snowboarder, who works for a ski-lift manufacturing company, and also a surgeon specializing in cold-related injuries, own a company that manufactures heavy duty wires, am an accomplished wolf trainer, and happen to be the very stuntman that you saw in this movie.
I, for one, can tell you that every single aspect of this movie was false, and you have to believe me because this is coming from a snowboarding ski-lift engineering wolf-training stuntman who is also a medical surgeon.
You really have some impressive qualifications for answering a number of inquiries on this board. I, myself, have extensive degrees in thermal aerodynamics, zoological psychology and extensive experience in the construct of recreational outerwear.
I've also been published several times, including:
*research on the tensile weight limitations of thermal outerwear fabrics
*the psychology of pack animals in North America and their carnivorous approach to the human sexes (paid for by Federal grant)
and a handbook "Ski-Lift Survival Techniques of the 21st Century" which I'm sure is part of your employee library, seeing that you operate a ski-lift manufacturing company.
It's good to finally see some qualified people on this board.
Aye. The haggis is in the fire for sure.
I am a guy sitting at my computer and have been using a keyboard for over 30 years and have been reading for over 40 years. If I were people posting messages on this thread I would keep it up. This is the funniest bunch of comments I've ever seen.
shareHere are some pics of ski lift cables. They don't look sharp to me.

You are a goddamn idiot.
shareI'm a wolf, and let me say that there is no way we wolves would have let that girl just crawl away like that. We would have defended our food and taken down that injured blondie for another snack.
And I also moonlight as a ski glove manufacturer and often test the aerodynamics of ski poles as well. But that's mostly just a hobby...
I think I shall never pee on life as lovely as a tree
haha
shareyour expertize is very helpful in understanding why I would never have a chance since I am too... a blonde woman who may be stupid enough to pee myself instead of just asking the guy next to me to close his eyes long enough for me to turn my ass towards the safety bar and pull my pants down.

How did Dan body taste? Was it good? :D
shareA+
shareHA HA
shareLOL. Couldn't help but laugh. We have all kinds of professionals here, it seems.
shareYou neglected to mention the aerobics instructor and her advice about being more flexible.
Don't forget the paratrooper who says Dan should have kept his feet together and knees slightly flexed when he jumped off the ski lift chair.
Well, I'm also a stuntman (part time) and in such a position, they should have taken off their coats and ski-pants, making them into one big ball, Then they could have one of them jump off the lift, holding the ball against their torso as they landed on it, creating a make-shift landing mat, so to speak. This would have absorbed most of the energy from the landing, where he could have made it safely to the lodge and saved his friends.
Although, the girl (being the lightest) would have had the best chance at a successful landing.

Well actually JapanGaijin, I'm a fully qualified rapist(University Of Wisconsin) and I can guarantee that Parker would never have survived even one night alone with any freezing cold guy who doesn't have a girlfriend. FACT.
This movie is absurd.

I dont get this joke. (i assume it was ment as a joke).
What do you mean by that, I mean, what is the punchline here..
I mean, you sugesting a single guy would rape her, right?
But what does that have to to with him freezing?
And why wouldnt she survive it?
It would be more realistc if He would also kill her after he raped her?What?
Is that what you do? Or what you think any guy would to? Or is that "just" what you think is funny?

Don't think that just because your career doesn't mesh with the dynamics of the storyline that you have nothing to contribute!
If I recall, the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was about 65 feet high. If Michaelangelo were stranded up there while painting, with no way of getting down, would he have jumped?
Aye. The haggis is in the fire for sure.
I'm a bolt and nut maker, and it's not realistic to have the nut come off like that.
ahahah best comment ever.
Aehmm... I work for the company that make the engine of the truck they missed. It was too loud to let him hear them... tested in lab the sound of these 300hp 5000lt engine would be too much.
Lol bravo sir, you made my day

I'm a Marine Biologist and I have nothing to say about this film other than the fact that the three protagonists weren't the brightest bulbs in the chandelier.
shareI work for a light bulb manufacturer. From experience, I can tell you that in a collection of bulbs rated at the same wattage, the ones which are brightest are generally faulty and prone to burning out quicker.
Even I can tell the protagonists were not the most colourful fish in the lagoon!

So we still need to hear from:
a ski-wear clothing manufacturer
a ski equipment manufacturer
a ski resort car park attendant
a ski lift disaster survivor
a stuntman
a compound fracture specialist
a meteorological expert
a storm chaser
Lassie, Skippy, Flipper, Chief Brodey... um...
(edit) Damn, already a stuntman contribution!

I am a giant phosphorescent alien currently living in the US/Mexico border region and find the whole situation.... amusing. Next time you humans find yourself in similar circumstances try smashing the ski lift to pieces and eating the wolves before crashing off into the woods.

Regardless if he does or doesn't work for that kind of company, it's more than likely someone who works with a certain job has watched a movie related to their job. Some welders I used to work with would joke around about how stupd it looks in movies when peope are welding in the background and everything they had wrong.
