"The unidentified skier was seen dangling from the lift as a pair of snowboarders gripped her arms while they ascended the slopes at the Southern California winter resort. Ski patrol members waited to assist the skier when they pulled into the station, according to KTLA."
"A witness who posted video of the heart-stopping incident on social media said he spoke with the skier afterward and she was unhurt. It's unclear how the woman slipped through the lift's safety bar."
A skier at Bear Mountain Resort in Big Bear Lake, California, slipped from a chairlift on Tuesday and dangled precariously while two snowboarders held her arms to prevent her from falling. Ski patrol members were positioned at the station to provide assistance when the lift arrived. The exact cause of how the skier passed through the safety bar remains unclear. A witness recorded the incident and later confirmed the skier was unharmed. This incident follows a similar alarming event earlier in the month at Mammoth Mountain ski resort, where a 12-year-old girl fell from a chairlift.
