Some poor skier in Colorado wound up upside down showing off his bum (and everything else) after a malfunction caused the chair on the ski lift to allow him to fall through. His pants caught on the lift and were pulled down and the 48-year old man was left hanging (oh the opportunities for the double entendre) until workers could free him.

While the man is now an Internet hit the situation could have been very tragic. His right ski is what caught and it jammed the lift. Once he fell his pants also got stuck and they ripped and went down to about his ankles.


My Fox Colorado reports that lift operators immediately stopped the lift and Vail Ski Patrol was called to the scene. The plan was to get the guy down without hurting him so they moved the lift to ten feet or so and were able to assist him. See a slide show of the photos of the instant celebrity here.

The Rocky Mountain News reports that declined to respond to reports that "the chairlift seat appeared to be up, which may have caused the man to fall partially through it before catching himself with his skis."
