No seatbelts in those things???
When it is your time to go, God will always find a way
Wow such bad timing!!!😢😢😢 🙏🙏🙏
Matrix
Dangerous hobby.
It's safer to climb the hill
Was he secured to the chair lift? RIP 😢😢
😂 👍
I am so sorry. Heartbreaking! He was just going about his day!
Almost fell off a chairlift last year I'll never ski again
They need those human size rocket thing to get up the mountain faster… Every ski resort needs this for faster response… Jeez 20 minutes….
Sending prayers and condolences to his family and friends.
Ow that didnt hurt.
Alex Cabrero's voice/tone is more fitting for a children's show NOT the right guy to narrate a tragic story. NBC epic fail using this soft guy
This narrator voice is straight up creepy
What's happening in park City, first ken block and now this. RIP🙏 prayers to the family
He didn’t fall off. He was ejected. I thought there supposed to be a safety bar. I have been skiing with my kids for over 10 years now, I don’t go on the lift without one myself.
If they don’t have the bar, I use my ski pole.
Did the Chair have a full-wrap Safety-Bar? Was it down? Those are the only two 'human error' things I can think of. Trees, in heavy snow, can alter from being Upright, and, if Tall-enough, crash into, oh, lift cables or towers. Freak of Nature? Perhaps. Preventable? Likely, with enough 'pruning by chain-saw'. But, Exposed Lifts, have issues with WIND, too.
Got him, thought he could get away. Not, still looking for more creeps theres more…..
So very sad.
well you all should b more + on it look on the bright side of the coin the guy died & now someone can go for his job
The safety bar is there for a reason and would likely have saved his life. Use it! RIP
so sad
