It is a position no one wants to be in, hanging upside down, a naked skier dangling off a ski lift in Vail, Colorado. To make it worse photos were snapped that made the man an instant celebrity, but now reports claim he is looking into legal action. According to a report from the Associated Press, officials at Vail Resorts in Colorado say the 48-year-old man was trying to get on the Blue Ski basin lift on New Year's Day when he would up naked and upside down.

The man then winds up hung out to dry with his bare bottom hanging out for the world to see and as luck would have it a photographer just happened to have a camera at the ready and snapped away as the man dangled dangerously from the ski lift.

That sounds like the right thing to do as it was a developing news story and it did have a reasonably happy ending with the man unhurt (although he has been exposed in photos all over the World Wide Web with everything hanging out for the world to see). Should the snapper be in hot water? He says he is.
