Young Boy Dangling From Ski Lift Free Falls Into Safety Pad

A boy was left dangling 9 metres above the ground from a chairlift after he slipped out of his seat at the Mount Hutt ski resort on New Zealand’s South Island on Saturday morning. The father held on to the boy for about a minute before staff and visitors caught the 11-year-old boy using a safety pad from a chairlift pole.In an interview with Stuff.co.nz, the boy’s father Kevin Clulee said Jack sat down too early and slipped, missing his chair. Jack was unharmed and although he was “shaken up” he was back on the slopes later in the day. Credit: YouTube/Liam Whitman
