Criminal Charges To Be Filed On Vail Gondola Mishap by Craig Horowitz Reprinted from the Vail Trail District Attorney Jack Healy announced this week he will file criminal charges within the next two weeks in connection with the March 26, 1976 gondola accident in Vail. Healy wouldn't say if the charges will be inisdemeanors-or -felonies (and he also refused 'comment on whether Vail Associates or the Swiss manufacturer of the gondola will face charges. "Further perusal of existing information will be done this week and then it will be determined who will be charged with what," Healy said. Healy did offer that charges will be filed for both the injuries and the deaths. Jack Marshall, president of Vail Associates, said Healy 's announcement of his intentions "compounds the tragic nature of the event." Marshall added that prior to the accident Vail Associates "reasonably and in good faith believed that its .. mountain operations, including Gondola II, were I safe for use by its guests and i employees." ; The Lionsllead lift, ? installed in 1969, was designed by Bell "- Engineering Works of ; Lucerne, Switzerland. Bell's ' gondola division has since been purchased by Von Roll Engineering. As a result of the accident, several civil suits have been filed against both Vail Associates . and Bell Engineering.

Box 738 Park defense, Bell has attempted to shift blame for the accident to Vail Associates claiming that the lift was not maintained and operated properly. Healy s office is said to be investigating the maintenance and operation - procedures for Jhe gondoja . m "Vail Associates must and will contend itl -the efforts of other outside parties to divert the focus of the inquiry from themselves and will continue to defend itself vigorously in these matters," Marshall said. The tragic lift mishap occurred when an unraveling track cable caused the derailment of two gondola cars. The charges being considered by Healy are manslaughter, which is a felony that carries a fine of $1,000 to $15,000 for each count if a corporation is convicted. If an individual is convicted fines range from $2,000 to $30,000 and possible jail sentence of up to 10 years for each count. Third degree assault, which is a misdemeanor, carries fines of $500 to $5,000 for , corporations and individuals and possible imprisonment for up to two years for individuals. In a related matter, the Colorado Passenger Tramway safety board announced last week that it will hold public hearings in Vail beginning or Oct. 3 to determine the cause of the gondola accident.

Man Cables Ahead Obviously anxious to ride the Alpine Slide, an unidentified man last Thursday night cabled ahead for a seat. According to police officials, an "apparently intoxicated man" left his chair on the Payday lift and began travelling tra-velling hand-over-hand a-Iong a-Iong the lift's steel cable.
