Videos of a malfunctioning ski lift in the country of Georgia posted to social media are going viral and will likely be responsible for nightmares tonight.

The videos were taken at a resort in Georgia and shows the lift going in reverse at a tremendous speed.

Skiers and lift chairs are tossed through the air, and began piling up at one point. Skiers can be seen jumping from the racing chairs.

If you are already a little anxious when taking a ski lift, you most definitely do not want to click on these videos.
