12-Year-Old Snowboarder Dangles From Chairlift All the Way Up Mountain After Slipping from seat

[asiliveandbreathe]

8. I had to watch this ..so glad he is okay..looks like they slowed the

chairlift..then stopped it at the top where he got help..

Similar experience about 15 years ago..3 couples rented a townhouse in Payson AZ..we skied Sunrise, about ten miles away...the three guys were on the chair ahead of us three gals..we had been on the bunny slope..practicing (had not been on skis for years)..I fell several times and my parka was wet..

Yup, I slid off the chairlift right from the start..I looked up and the chair went over my head..they stopped it so I could get back on..I am now scared to death..but still she goes on..

We got to the jump off waaay up there..and my hesitation caused me to have to jump at least from 10 feet...remember, the guys are waiting for us..one of them had the presents of mind to make their way over to me, and one decided they needed a picture of me in mid-air..which I still have..my descent was protected by the guys - not sure who took the picture ..
