Skier Hangs Pantless from Ski Lift

Apparently on January 1st, 2009 a father and his daughter were visiting a ski resort in Vail, Colorado when an unfortunate yet hilarious incident occurred. The man and his daughter were attempting to board the chairlift, but the fold down seat was not folded down. The next serious of events are quite funny. Once the man tried to position himself on the seat, he fell through the gap where the folded down seat should have been. His right ski became lodged in the chairlift and kept him hanging upsides down. His ski boot never released itself from the binding and he was left dangling upside down as the chairlift started to move. To make the story even funnier, the mans ski pants were held up by the seat, so he is now not only hanging upside down, but he is in his birthday suit from the waist down. The resort personnel were able to stop the chairlift from moving, but the man dangled upside down and bare bottomed for 15 minutes before they could back the ski up and and safely remove him from the lift.

Can you imagine what is going on through his daughters mind. "Please don't let there be anybody from school here." That has to be one embarrassed young girl.
