Meltdowns
Skier's Pole Exposed in XXX Mishap

This poor guy didn't realize his lift pass came with an impromptu upside down peep show.



According to The Smoking Gun, this bizarre chairlift mishap left the Vail skier dangling head over heels for 15 minutes freezing his ass off -- for reals!

Employees of the Blue Sky Basin eventually got the man down before he could fall through the, er, crack.

BTW -- in the guy's defense, it was really cold.

98. the guy is going to have a huge lawsuit - the lift op was at fault - he wasn't paying attention - i live in the vail area and got it from an employee.

100. Oh no! I bet he had to go home and change his pants::::oh:::wait~

101. "does anyone know WHY he is HANGING upside down?? or why his pants didnt go with him?"
Click to the link on The Smoking Gun for details. Essentially, the seat on the lift was up, not down, and no one noticed before this guy and his son tried to load. As the lift takes off, the man fell thru - but his ski caught and his binding didn't release. I can only presume his pants 'hit a snag' since they are obviously not in place.

This story is all over the web and rumor has it that Leno has used it in his opening monologue. Such a riot for all of us - (I've been laughing all day at these pics) but can you imagine this man's 1) embarrassment, 2) possible frost bite in some very precarious places, and 3) total feeling of being scared to ever get on a ski lift again. Glad he's ok.... But someone at Vail is going to be writing a hefty check....

102. well, the year can only get better for this dude. I hope!

Posted at 2:10AM on Jan 7th 2009 by ahem

103. Geez...why didn't whoever was sitting in the lift hand him a coat to wrap around his waist or something? Why wasn't he trying to cover himself at all? He was just letting his arms hang down...among other things!! How horrible!

105. 58. You guys are awful. This is completely humiliating. And if this were a malfuntion of the ski lift, I hope he sues big time. Not only for his complete humiliation but for the lack of safety for his kid. Karma folks...you will be caught next with your pants down...

I can't stand how people make light of serious situations and other people's embarassments.
