Other reports said she became nauseous from the spinning and had a head injury from her original fall. I would think the centrifugal force of that spin would send blood rushing to her head and feet! Not good. She ended up okay though.
This has happened before. You'd think they'd have designed a system that could detect the spinning and automatically adjust wind vanes to stabilize the basket.
Camelback Mountain is a much more interesting hike BTW. The terrain is much more varied.
Fun fact: Piestewa Peak used to be called Squaw Peak until they learned that "squaw" meant female genitalia.
