Vail skier upside down -- my gully!
Wednesday, January 07, 2009
A ski incident at the Vail Ski Resort in Vail, Colorado may be not be funny at all. But boy, the photos and video of the Vail skier named Micah Rangel, sure made me giggle. The 48 year old man dangles upside down half-naked (pants down) from a chairlift or ski lift showing his "tiny tony" to the public and exposing it for 15 minutes in the freezing cold.
What really happened? Celebrity.rightpundits has it.

In an embarrassing and scary way to start the year, a man almost fell off a ski lift in Vail, Colorado. The 48 year old man was vacationing with his son, and they boarded the high-speed lift in Vail’s Blue Sky Basin. The chair has a fold down seat, which apparently was not in the correct position when the pair boarded. This caused the man to fall through the gap that resulted. Luckily, the man’s right ski didn’t fall through with him (and his boot never released from its binding), which kept him from falling to the mountain below. Unfortunately, however, the man’s pants did not stay put, and he wound up dangling there half naked.
The man dangled like that, exposed to the elements, for approximately 15 minutes. The Skyline Express lift was stopped and eventually backed up, and Vail personnel were able to help the man dislodge himself safely from the four person chair. In a statement released by by Vail Resorts, who operates the ski area, it was reported that the man was not injured, and they claimed he was only “suspended for approximately seven minutes.” While he may not have been physically injured, I’m sure his pride was. Vail Resorts should probably gear themselves up for a lawsuit.
