Tourists were violently thrown from a ski lift at a resort in north-east Georgia after it malfunctioned, leaving ten people with minor injuries.
Skiers were being transported up a hill at the Gudauri resort, located on the plateau of The Greater Caucasus Mountain Range in the former Soviet republic, when the out of control lift suddenly began running backwards at high speed.
Panicked tourists were thrown in different directions after the ski lift sped up to around double its normal speed, leaving horrified skiers on the ground "shaken and shocked", reports say.
Reports have speculated the incident may have been caused by a voltage fluctuation or brake issues.
