Skier Left Dangling Bottomless From Vail Ski Lift - Photos Posted Online

Anything worse than hanging upside down from a ski lift chair with your pants off? How about having that picture plastered all of the Internet on heavily traveled sites like The Drudge Report. The full story of how this happened comes to us from our friends at TheSmokingGun.com who also have a series of pictures taken by other skiers who seemed to be enjoying this guy's predicament. Here's more from TSG:

The January 1 mishap apparently occurred after the male skier, 48, and a child boarded a high-speed lift in Vail's Blue Sky Basin. It appears that the chairlift's fold-down seat was somehow not in the lowered position, which caused the man to partially fall through the resulting gap. His right ski got jammed in the ascending chairlift, and that kept him upended since his boot never dislodged from its binding.
