In Vail there was a couple skiers, a dad and a kid. And they were getting onto a chairlift but the seat of the chairlift was folded up so that there was just a hole. So when the dad sat down he fell through. When he fell his pants got caught on the chair pulling them off and his ski got stuck in the chair so it held him up. The kid was fine and he didn't fall through or anything. The kid also had a real cool coat. Vail Resort said in a press release that the man was only upside down for 7 minutes but the article says it took 15 minutes for ski patrol to respond and get him unstuck so i dont know how long it actually was. I think that the lifties probly thought that it was really funny to watch. If they were like young 20 year olds like all the ones i've seen then they probly thought it was hilarious. i feel really sorry for the guy but its still really fun.
