They all know how to think practically bc they’re mountain trained You need a good amount of common sense to ski, bc moments like this one aren’t actually that uncommon Like a kid hanging in the air isn’t a frequent occurrence but downhill ski/snowboarding is a dangerous sport, and people fall frequently.

The problem with those lifts is, that the protection bar is one for all. Dad is bigger than his son, so the bar didn't protect the son but leaves a gap where he obviously slipped through. It can happen so fast, as the lift is jerking from time to time very rough..

My mom had one arm, my dad the other and I was hanging there as the chairlift kept going and going until other passengers got the attention of the lift operator. I was and still am an avid skier and wasn’t misbehaving, etc., I just literally slid off and the bar that comes down doesn’t protect little ones from sliding off lol.

Luckily, with my mom and dad’s help and strength, along with my own, I was able to get my butt firmly planted.

Part of video is missing...he was hanging with skis on, but fell without skis...it seems while hanging, he let go skis... incredible!

[@daughter-of-christ]

These things can jump .it's not always a smooth ride.ski pants can be slippery and the fact he has heavy ski boots weighing him down wouldn't help

[@Amber-yq9ee]

Skis are meant to pop off easily in event of a wreck or accident. So, likely he clanged his feet together or used 1 foot to stomp on the other foot to cause them to fall. It would've been disastrous, imo, if he tried to land on the net 🥅 w\them bc they could've gotten tangled up in there or even if they popped off as supposed to his body could hit the very hard bindings. So, while there's no way to know for sure w\o the whole video, that's what he did. It seems less likely that he could've pulled his leg up to release 1 handed & Doubtful the Dad could do it while remaining holding him. & Equally doubtful the other passenger could've reached. The only other way that might have worked is somebody getting on the chair that's used for emergency lift evac. I worked at a ski resort several yrs & even tho Im NOT a skier or boarder, we all had to learn the chair evacs. Basically using a pulley system by throwing a rope attached to an emergency chair (basically like a plank or swing to pic what I mean) & it's anchored by 1 person & another used to guide. You scoot out off the lift & onto the plank\swing & lowered to the ground. But it takes time to get & set up. & If they HAD that there then it would make more Sense to pull it up to him or even somebody ride it up & grab hold of him to lower. So, just seems likely he kicked them off. So, I said I'm not a skier or boarder, however my hubby was & worked at the same ski resort as a teenager back when we were dating. So, he took me once & It was an EPIC failure on my part. But I DID learn the importance of knowing your weight! I see myself as bigger than I am even when I was skinny. So, I overestimated my weight thinking if I under bid it then I'd break the skis. But that's not the reason they ask the weight. They calibrate the skis so they will pop off when you crash or tumble so your legs don't get twisted & broken. So, when I ended up cartwheeling down the steep slope headed straight for the expert course, I got knee all f*cked up & sprained bc it twisted when I tumbled bc they were made to w\stand more of a jolt due to my overstating my body weight! OUCH!

[@mamacitadelosperros533]

This happened to my son when he was about 4. We lived at a mountain resort and skied often. He didn't get loaded properly onto the chair and started slipping. I told him to look straight ahead, bend his knees when he landed and he would be fine. The snow was deep and fresh, so he landed in a big floof and was fine. He didn't even cry. When I got to the top of the lift, I skied down and we went on with our day!

Like why is the other person not taking that other kid from the dad???

[@giorginho7mobile]

At least that ended well. This happened to my sister at exactly that age too. For all those asking "how do you get in that situation", back then (think over 25 years ago) those lifts would actually hit you at their full, actual running speed, so a small child would have to be helped on by a grown-up person, or the controller would have to slow down the entire line (or even shut it down) completely. So that time the controller didn't slow it down and as she got on, she was still on the edge of the seat and as she tried to wiggle herself backwards she immediately slipped forward due to the angle of the lift (which tends to swing after it "hits" people). That was when my father made his own big mistake and tried to bring her back up, which is basically impossible, so she was left hanging for a while just like the kid in this video. The controller NEVER noticed (a guy in his 60s, 1-2 years away from retirement) and never stopped the line, so basically after a point nothing could be done by anyone! She hang on for about as far along the ride as this kid, so she was over 6 meters (20 feet) high above rock-hard early morning icy snow. And then.... her hands slipped out of her gloves. I am just a couple of years older than her, this was a huge shock to me. At first I was worried she had died, because she wasn't moving, then they told me she'd broken her leg, at which time I thought she wouldn't walk again... Anyway the consequences were far worse for her than for myself, this DID actually cause her never to ski again (and she was doing great up to that point!) her leg didn't heal properly and had to put in a casket a 2nd time after a few months and my very athletic sister went down a spiral of basically zero activity for over a year and gaining far too much weight, which stayed with her ever since (and has unfortunately gotten much worse). Could this have been another "miracle recovery" story? Probably so, but this is to let you know, not everything works out fine for everyone all the time. True story, unfortunately. :(

[@tm75_88]

Sorry for that George... Only stupid people can think that is impossible to happen: we have always to be very careful with those machines. Let's see the positive aspect, and it wasn't given she would survive. About the weight....i don't agree... I can understand the first period, but let's not blame the accident for ever: all of us are responsible for ourselves

[@patriciaselby636]

Sad story for your family. It is true that a serious injury can change the trajectory of your life. I've seen it happen.

[@soulserenade.kcn1992]

[@whysoserious2869]

It's tough. However you mentioned that things not always go well like in the video and to be honest you missed that things can go even worse. She could have hit his head a rock and end up either with irreversible brain damage or just dead.

⚠️ Note to all Parents: DON'T put your kid on a chair lift unless you know they can handle it! If they can't sit still, don't listen to you or follow instructions, or act impulsively without regard to safety... They don't belong on a chair lift! This is NOT an amusement park ride and there is no seatbelt holding you in. Also, if your children are going on a lift, sit WITH your children! Don't let them ride alone or with other small children/siblings. YOU are responsible for them and their safety and you can't help them if you're in the next chair over... Don't risk it, it's not worth it.

Yes. I grew up next to a mountain resort, always skiid there. Worked there later as an adult. The only time this ever happened was when a friend rode with his brother and his brother thought it hilarious to shove him off.
