Viral video shows teen’s ski lift mishap

Teenager’s Terrifying Ski Lift Mishap‌ Caught on Video

Prepare to hold your breath as a viral⁤ video captures the heart-stopping moment a teenager slips from a ski ⁢lift in Mammoth, California. The dramatic rescue attempt that followed ‌only added to the suspense.

According to reports, the 16-year-old snowboarder boarded the ski lift with three other riders, but unfortunately, she wasn’t properly seated and slid forward. Hanging⁣ precariously 30⁣ feet above the ground, she relied on her fellow riders to save her. Despite their‌ efforts, they couldn’t pull her back up,‌ leaving her suspended in mid-air for​ what felt like an eternity at Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort.

In a desperate bid to rescue the girl, ski lift employees quickly set up⁤ a net to ⁢catch her fall. However,⁤ it seems that the net wasn’t strong enough to break her fall, and ⁤she ended up clipping the edge of ⁣it instead.

Mammoth Mountain⁤ Ski Resort released ‌a statement regarding ​the incident:

At approximately ‍11:40am ⁤on⁣ Jan 27, a 16-year-old female snowboarder‍ loaded⁤ Stump Alley Express (Chair 2) with two other riders. As the chair began its ascent, the guest, who for ​unknown reasons ‍was not completely seated, began sliding⁢ off the ​chair. The⁢ other individuals on the chair grabbed hold of the guest and ⁤held her from ​falling as Lift ‌Operators ‌stopped the lift. ​Five Mammoth Mountain employees ⁣and eight guests ⁣immediately responded and positioned ​the deceleration net under the ⁣guest. When the guest slipped from the grasp of her chair mates, the net decelerated her fall, but did not⁣ stop ⁢it. The guest was transported to Mammoth Hospital for evaluation. Our⁤ thoughts⁣ are ⁤with the guest⁢ and her‍ family.

Eyewitnesses described the heart-stopping moment when the⁣ girl‍ finally dropped down, ​narrowly⁣ missing the center of the ⁢net. “I ⁣don’t⁤ think‍ it ‌did really ‍too much to break her fall,” one⁢ witness said.

As‌ of now, the girl’s‌ condition remains ​unknown.
