Highlights
  • Initial findings show the two cabins had traveled only about six meters when the balancing force vanished, precipitating a rapid derailment.
  • The derailed car descended the slope while the other remained anchored up the hill, illustrating how the cable system shares weight between cabins.
  • A preliminary report from investigators indicated the connecting cable failure at the top cabin's attachment point led to the brake system's inability to stop the descent.
