Kid Falls From Ski Chair Lift at Keystone

We were standing in the lift line for Montezuma Express at Keystone Colorado when this kid falls off his seat and is just hanging there. Holding onto the arm and ski of the adult to the left, apparently unable to pull him up. Ski patrol checked the area, had him take off both his ski's, then told him to drop. The little boy walked away from the whole thing! The fall looked to be 10-20 feet but I'm just guessing.

Yeah, just look at all the videos of people falling of chairs when the bar is down. Oh, wait...duh, there aren't any.

Hopefully you don't have children, or if you do, hopefully you don't really care i they live or die.

I agree 100%. I have been skiing at Steamboat the last three weeks and I'm stunned at how many people refuse to lower the safety bar at all. What are they trying to prove?

Stop being the safety troll

Little kids could easily slip under the bar..this isn't a perfect world.

The real solution is better parents so stfu go away.

This accident would never have happened if the kid had lowered the safety bar as soon as he got on the chair. The safety bar is there for a reason. Ignore it at your own peril.
