@@lolaharwood4702 yeah, just casually catching a baked potato thrown at me as hard as possible, the usual thing.

@@st1cks_and_crows happens everyday

I think I replayed that like 25 times

Its not twin towers...

Videos poppin off for absolutely no reason

It’s a terrible video 😂😂

@@andrewhawthorne8434 it is a good video! never saw something like this before

And some where you could just hop out and be fine.

@Steven Goodnight dude agreed. I love rippin. But if I got stuck on a chair lift at some serious height I’d probably never go again

@Steven Goodnight I love skiing but I'm also afraid of heights! The longest gondola in the world is near me. It's about a 20 minute ride and you can't even see the ski hill from the bottom. There's also a spot at Durango mountain in Colorado where one of the ski lifts goes over a cliff wall and that big sky in Montana though often shut the lifts down in their bowl as it gets too windy. I've been on that when it happened. Not cool 😬😬😬

Yeah because ski lifts are way higher than people expect. One guy fell out of our ski lift and he fell perfectly but still had a broken leg and a cracked rib.

Sound like typical kiwis. "That was fairly interesting" is about as animated as they get.

Imagine getting stuck on chair 8 bounceing around trying to get on a ladder

Sure, bud.

You know when you miss the last stair and your ankle reminds you you missed it? Now imagine jumping 30 stairs straight down with ski boots on...

Connor Erhardt it’s like 15ft

@@DK_tk3 probably 10 feet farther than what you need to break a leg

The camera didn’t deceive anything, you’re eyes and common sense are broken. Just like your legs when you drop down.

And got frostbite for your trouble.

Most kiwis do a fairly good job of keeping themselves calm, so it makes it a bit easier. I heard a kiwi describe how he was riding his mountain bike home after the most destructive earthquake in a modern city - the roads were impassable to motorised traffic (Christchurch NZ) and the arterial road he was on had turned into a river of liquefied subsoil. His bike fell into a narrow crack and he was wearing those shoes which clip in to the pedals, the crack was stopping him twisting out and the mud was at neck level, and rising. Fortunately the aftershocks were coming fairly regularly, and one happened along and opened the crack, releasing him. He told the story as if it was a fairly interesting event in a moderately interesting day.

It’s been 6 days

No joke just watched that movie today, and now this pops up in my recommended... never going skiing again 😂

I thought I was the only one. The Disney version sucks, but the 2010 version is mint

Oh frick that was scary I skipped the entire scene with the bone sticking out…

The chances of getting hurt are probably higher. Especially with 40+ people on the lift.

And what if it ripped because of someone’s gear

That’s their emergency strategy, like if someone is dangling off the chair. I guess in this case they have more time so why not be more safe

@@justtired2050 this is wayyy more safe than that airbag lol.

Doesn't take long, as soon as the chair is stopped patrol are already on to it

We were actually one of the last chairs to be unloaded. They started from the top of the mountain and took over an hour to get to us at the bottom. Was a cold and windy day too to make it worse

@@andrewhawthorne8434 what happened to the lift?

@@rcaddict7638 read the desc

Haven’t you just seen how he caught snickers?? These hands are magnetic

I feel like you could bring your own rope and just slide down it if it isn't like 6+ meters. Just pull it through the seat and once you're down take the rope with you

Look at description it explains a little bit

The lift’s wire rope came off the tracks when high winds blew the chairs around. All the chairs had to be let down one at a time, each taking 10 or so minutes with about 30ish chairs to be let down. They started top of the mountain to the bottom and we were at the bottom, so we’re one of the last groups down

@@andrewhawthorne8434 thanks hope everyone was ok

We’re in the Southern Hemisphere, so obviously gravity goes up

Andrew Hawthorne of course dumb me in the northern hemisphere thinking gravity goes down

@@andrewhawthorne8434 LOL if that were the case then there would be no need to use a rope to be rescued from the chair lift...just raise the bar and fly away. D'oh!

No because they won’t have any forward momentum.

T bars at the same mountain used to fracture several skulls most seasons, and massive pileups when people fell near the top and the track was icy.

Yes

same

All depends on the angle that you're landing on. You might be surprised how hard ten feet can land onto flat hard-pack.

It was about 20 feet

Lift malfunctioned due to high wind

enjoy your broken ankles

May have been the last thing you did. It's a looong way down. OP figured about 30 feet. Bust many things *if* you survived.

@@ORSkie 30 feet? haha no way it's 4 op's height max
