"Hectic sequence caught from the slopes of Blue Mountain Resort in Pennsylvania. What initially started as a routine ski patrol rescue of a skier injured after crashing in the terrain park was further complicated as second skier was injured off the same jump. The double ski patrol response quickly turned more chaotic as a snowboarder failed to see a rescue tobbogan in the landing area of the jump and ended up crashing directly into it."
"The comment section of the Instagram video is ablaze with criticisms on how the situation was handled and we will let the video speak for itself but suffice to say if you see what looks like a potential medical situation on the mountain, do everything in your power not to further complicate it. Slow down and be respectful."
A routine ski patrol rescue at Blue Mountain Resort escalated after multiple riders were injured off the same terrain-park jump. A second skier was injured on the same jump, and a snowboarder subsequently collided with a rescue toboggan in the jump's landing area. The jump and landing area remained uncordoned for a time, allowing other skiers and snowboarders to continue using the feature while rescues occurred. The Instagram video drew heavy criticism for the handling of the scene. Observers urged riders to slow down, avoid interfering with medical responses, and exercise respect and caution around potential emergencies.
