Boy hanging from ski lift

We were attempting to get on the ski lift when we noticed the seat was flipped up. The operator did not stop the lift to fix it, so we tried unsuccessfully while the lift was still in motion. My son's jacket got stuck on a peg that was supposed to be latching the seat and this was the result.

@TheRgdj The seat did not fall. because of the carriers engineered design, it is not capable of doing such action. In the video, it is a windy day. The wind gets up under the seats, and flips the seat up. It is designed to flip up when a certain amount of wind pressure builds up under the seat to prevent damage to the carrier. Every day lift maintenance inspects the comfort bar, inspect weld points on the chair, and flip the seats up to keep the new snow fall off the seat.
