Australian Woman Dies After Incident on Japanese Ski Lift

A 22-year-old Australian tourist was tragically killed after her backpack became caught in a ski lift at Tsugaike Mountain Resort in Japan. The incident occurred as she prepared to disembark from the lift. A loose buckle caused the mishap, resulting in her being dragged and suspended mid-air before rescue.

Following the rescue, she was taken to hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. The ski resort has expressed remorse and pledged to improve safety protocols. They are cooperating with authorities to ensure such incidents are prevented in the future. Our condolences go out to her family during this heartfelt moment.
