What could be worse than falling out of a moving chair lift? Having your pants come off too?
Edited on Tue Jan-06-09 05:10 PM by Richardo



If you think people laugh at your skiing skills then think again. A man was a put into a precarious and undoubtedly embarrassing position while skiing with his child at Vail mountain last Friday.

According to reports:

the chairlift's fold-down seat was not in the correct lowered-down position - causing the man to partially fall through the resulting gap as he attempted to board the lift.


He was prevented from plummeting to the ground below by his right ski, which became jammed in the ascending lift.

5. I've seen some hilarious spills when people tried to get off the chairlift
Some people get really psyched out by the time they get to the top of the hill!

11. Before I clicked, I was going to say that 'ending up upside down with your junk hanging out'
would be worse, but I see you've got that covered. :rofl:

Poor guy...

18. You know they'll change the name of that run now.
It'll be "Buttocks" or "Bare Bottom" or "Upside Down" "Just Hangin" or "Inverted" or "Danglin'" or "Exposed" or "Chilly Balls" or "Butt Freeze"
