Stuck on a Ski Lift



One of the thoughts you inevitably have on a ski lift or chair lift is what happens if the mechanism stops? Travis Waite found out when he went up at Beach Mountain ski resort. He’s lucky the lift wasn’t any higher at his stopping point. The rescuers threw a rope over the cable so he could be belayed down. But oh, that snow is slippery! That’s when the procedure goes altogether slapstick. Then the boss says, “You know, next time I’m gonna have to…” Next time? Now I have to wonder how often this happens. In this video you’ll see something that rarely happens in these type of videos: the guy with the camera actually puts it down to help! (via Daily Picks and Flicks)
