A separate clip shows emergency services administering CPR to the victim as concerned holidaymakers watch on from a distance. <\/p>\n

Harrowing images later showed the wreckage lying in a heap at the bottom of the slope, bent out of recognition. <\/p>\n

In the aftermath of the crash, a rescue helicopter rushed to the scene while fellow skiers were painstakingly evacuated from the other gondolas. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt just came off the cable and started rolling,\u201d a witness said. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a strong wind. Then there was a jerk, and the cable moved. <\/p>\n

\u201cFinally the cable crashed.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to reports, there was only one person in the carriage at the time of the incident. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey tried to resuscitate them for around 30 minutes\u201d, the witness added. <\/p>\n

The unnamed individual was rushed to a nearby hospital but despite doctors\u2019 best efforts, they succumbed to their injuries. <\/p>\n

Prior to the incident, the victim was allowed to board the gondola despite strong winds battering the region.<\/p>\n

Gusts exceeding 80 kilometres per hour were recorded in some places.<\/p>\n

Despite the adverse conditions, this cable car, along with many others, was still allowed to operate.<\/p>\n

It comes after six people were injured after a cable car slammed into a station barrier in Italy in December. <\/p>\n

According to reports, the\u00a0horror crash\u00a0took place at the Monte Moro mountain station of Macugnaga cable car. <\/p>\n

It is believed the crash occurred because the gondola arrived at the station too quickly.<\/p>\n

Those injured were treated by on-site medics, but were later transported to a local hospital via air ambulance. <\/p>\n

Around one hundred people were also left stranded following the incident. <\/p>\n

Only a week prior a tourist died on a ski lift in Montenegro after the chair suddenly came loose and slid 230ft backwards, smashing into the seat behind. <\/p>\n

A 34-year-old German man fell from the lift and was pronounced dead at the scene. <\/p>\n

The fatal accident happened at the Savin Kuk resort, near the mountain town of \u017dabljak.<\/p>\n

Authorities said a full technical examination of the lift would be carried out.<\/p>\n

Emergency services rushed to the scene to administer first aid<\/p>\n
