Go skiing they said. It'll be fun, they said...

 This must happen more than we know about. Here's another video showing a California skier holding on for dear life after slipping from a chairlift on Bear Mountain Tuesday as two fellow riders struggled to save her from falling. The unidentified skier was seen dangling from the lift as a pair of snowboarders gripped her arms while they ascended the slopes at the Southern California winter resort.
Ski patrol members waited to assist the skier when they pulled into the station, according to KTLA. It’s unclear how the woman slipped through the lift’s safety bar. Evidently, they managed to hang on to her until the ride stopped at the top of the hill, but it's a safe bet she dirtied her trou on the ride...

  2. It's not a risk free sport. Heavenly had a couple fatalities just last week. I believe one of them was a boarder wearing a backpack who got caught on the lift, carried up and then fell. Spent many years working in a resort hospital. Saw several fatalities every season.
