Many years ago I saw a child fall off a ski lift.
Happened about 60 feet after getting on it.
Mom had a grasp on the child but was slipping.
Employees sprinted like champs underneath them with a net.
They saved the day. Child fell about 20 feet, with skis on, into the net. It was cool.
“Another reason to avoid ziplines, if being scared shiteless isn’t enough.”
You wanna be scared absolutely crapless? Watch this:
