Skier Falls off Chair 2?

[snowfiend]

Did the guy that held on after falling off chair 23 at the first tower last year ever surface? I still think about it ever time I ride that chair. I will buy him a beer!

are we sure that really happened?

I won't have believed it if I didn't see it myself.

So he really hung on for dear life the whole way up and dropped into the net at the end so he didnt get sent into the side of the platform?

Yes i saw the photo but unfortunately with technology today i am always skeptical but thats crazy its true and that guy is pretty damn strong...now i dont know the distance of the net at the top did you have to stop the chair so he could get over the net or was he able to fall in safely on his own?

Did that guy fall out of his chair as he was leaving the bottom terminal or did he slip out once the chair was already going?

I think it is time to come clean.....it was not me,.....this time.

I have been knocked off a t bar at wistler, I have been knocked into the pit by a chair, (not paying attention) I have even been knocked down by one of those rfid things. But I never fell off chair 2.

My worst case was having 4 very inattentive snowboarders slide in behind me on Chair 3, so I ended up in one of their laps. They bravely said they would hang onto me until the top, and I not so bravely refused and dropped off before the chair got too high. Happily there was a lot of snow below the chair and I was angry, but it was only my pride that was hurt.

^^good move it's along way down from 3. The liftie should have stopped the chair. I had the same thing happen when a skier that couldn't count made a triple chair a foursome - I jumped to the sideoff the chair right away but the other three got about 10 feet up before they all fell off - liftie did stop the chair so it wasn't worse.

i saw a guy fall off 3 straights chairs in a ROW as it was loading on chair 21....he was riding solo with no one else and i was waiting for pops at the bottom of the chair...one chair after another over the course of 2-3 minutes....funny stuff but not so funny at the same time....

^^ he must have had the slippery pants syndrome At least they weren't as slippery as the ones that poor guy at Vail had....
