The Pantless Upside Down Ski Lift Is Now Open For Business
January 6th, 2009 by
We would like to tell you we made this up. But alas, we’re not that clever. Via The Smoking Gun:
“…a skier at Colorado’s ritzy Vail resort was left dangling upside down and pantsless from a chairlift last Friday morning. The January 2 mishap apparently occurred after the male skier and a child boarded a high-speed lift in Vail’s Blue Sky Basin. It appears that the chairlift’s fold-down seat was somehow not in the lowered position, which caused the man to partially fall through the resulting gap. His right ski got jammed in the ascending chairlift, and that kept him upended since his boot never dislodged from its binding.”
They don’t go into any additional detail on the “no pants” portion of the story, but we can only assume the dude’s ski bib turned on him. Those bastards have a cruel sense of humor.
More pictures of one man’s humiliation available at TSG.
