Since this was an instance of owners knowingly operating equipment in an
extremely dangerous condition for profit your comment was less apposite than
in other recent Italian disasters.


One mitigation for all this may be Covid, curiously enough. The winter
sports season was lost, due to lockdown, so the lift operators may have
been desperately short of money to get engineers in to fix things.

Still, it was a huge risk to take, even for a day. To leave it like that
for weeks was utter madness.
