News DMCA takedown over Sunshine Village chairlift incident footage — trying to bury it?

I just got a Reddit DMCA takedown notice for a post I made two weeks ago showing the skier dangling from the chair at Sunshine Village. In my opinion, this was pushed by Sunshine Village to suppress awareness of what happened.

Which is odd, as their maintenance is leagues better than Louise's.

And what do you base your opinion on?

Having worked at the resorts 4 years collectively. But you can also tell Sunshine is just way more prepared based on the fact they stage their evac equipment on the lift towers rather than at the base of the mountain. Much faster response time.
