Why not do a pool on who is getting sued backhoe operator who buried the pipe. welder of pipe, pipe maker, pipe fitting maker, engineer who designed system, inspector of pipe instillation, snowmakers who hit pipe night before (total speculation on my part ). What would really be helpful would to know what happened and why without all the hype. Glad no one was seriously injured. My general rule is if man made it it can and will break at some point. Anyone want to get working on a program that identifies where all the chairs are on a lift at any time in relation to infrastructure on the ground that allows operator to stop lift exactly when and where is needed.

Terrible.  With all modern forms of communication, shutting off the faucet and compressor, should have been done immediately?

Takes quite a bit of time to purge all lines especially if the rupture is on lower mt. Strange that both air and water were involved if that in fact was the case.
