Is this page a joke?
[edit]It's a total hack job with a company rep going through it and giving each proven controversy a company like rebuttal. Someones been tampering with this page and I vote to have a tag on the top of this page that questions a lot of the information being used by this company to counter legitimate claims of their product. It's almost comical in how blatant the PR control is on this page. Vote yes! Fadedroots (talk) 08:33, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Re: This sentence: "Unfortunately, the majority of state lift inspectors were complacent in detecting these problems. It has been proven that the Government of British Columbia knew about the problems on the Quicksilver lift, and refused to do anything about it." If this is true (and proven, as you state) then it needs notation and explanation. The implication from this sentence is that the injuries, deaths and financial mayhem ensuing from this incident were the entire responsibility of "state [sic] lift inspectors". They're called provincial inspectors in this country, by the way, and, although they may have been complicit in allowing a dangerous lift to operate, that allegation has never been made public. Where did you find this out? Rumours abound in this town as to the responsibility of this accident, but the truth is that a lot of people had to make a lot of serious errors in judgement for it to occur. You also make no mention of the two chairs which fell off the Yan quad detachable chairlift immediately uphill from the Quicksilver. One chair was empty, one had a passenger. These two separate events happened years before the Quicksilver, so the problems with the grips were well known. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Graupel (talk • contribs) 18:33, 20 September 2006
Jan Kuncynski's background
[edit]It might be interesting to add some information on Jan Kuncynski's background, if anyone can dig up such information. From the article so far, it appears that he may not have had an engineering education and cut corners on his designs. In some ways it parallels the story of Revolution Helicopter. —QuicksilverT @ 20:21, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
Info on Yan lifts
[edit]www.skiliftforum.com and www.skilifts.org have a lot of good technical info and discusions on Lift Engineering's products. Two of the company's employees are members there.--Lpimlott 05:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Flagging for revision
[edit]Lots of things going on in this article, but the lead section is notably bad:
"The last chairlifts yan in Iran, Isfahan city, was rebuilt and re-installed, in area forest_najvan park by yan 7 grip (designe pol X west).in year 2013 And now it's in operation." — What?
"Only one Lift Engineering Detachable remains after La Roca, the last unmodified Lift Engineering chair, was scrapped following an accident similar to the notable one at Whistler. This lift can be found at the Nazhvan Forest Park in Iran, and, unlike La Roca, is lift is a re-installation from Silver Star with the safer Pol-X-West grips" — No description of Whistler accident or Pol-X-West grips in lead section makes these references confusing. These sentences were previously edited from text lifted from this article and need to be further edited or moved elsewhere in the article for clarity.
