How the hell did he fall off the chair lift? The instructions of "sit, and put the bar down" were too complex for him, or something? Maybe I'm not seeing properly, but the chair doesn't look broken or anything.
He suffered from injuries including: concussion, skull fracture, collapsed lung, and a lacerated liver.
I was skiing when my friend gets off balance and ends up hanging from the chair. He did not have the security bar down. He hung from about Pole 8 to 21, and at 21 he fell. This was on a lift that averages 37ft above the ground, But pole 21 was the 3rd highest strech at about 45ft high, 19 being the highest. He suffered from injuries including: concussion, skull fracture, collapsed lung, and a lacerated liver. He had to be helicoptered out to a local hospital.
Reports say he was reaching at his board to collect the snow off it to use as a snowball. Guessing he reached too far out with no safety bar and started falling forward.
