I was on the chair in front of him when I heard him calling for help! I could hardly believe what I was seeing! His backpack got stuck under the arm of the seat! I tried to keep him calm. I was afraid that he would dislodge himself and fall to the ground and get really injured! Luckily everything turned out okay. A lot of things could have gone wrong, but they didn't. I felt helpless just watching him hang there. The ski patrol was quick to respond and had him down in about 15 minutes. If the lift had gone another 5', they would have had to take even more drastic measures to rescue him. Fortunately he was in a position where he was being suspended by his shoulder straps and he wasn't being choked or anything. Jukin Media Verified (Original)
