My brother sent me this conveniently while we are out skiing Whitefish Montana, guess this happened somewhere in the country of Georgia today. I would most definitely be taking my chances with the jump, amazingly no one was killed

The first guy who just got of like that was normal deserves a medal. The family that got ejected might have made me laugh. Might still have me laughing.

That was one of the funniest videos I have seen in a while, thanks for the laugh. The group that got ejected literally had me LOL

"Look at me - I'm flying!"

Hawkeye · 03-20-2018, 02:44 PM

Holy crap - there was a single person that didn't jump that got SMASHED into a bunch of stuff. Wow. Gotta be aware of your surroundings!

I don't get how this clip is funny. This is unreal and glad stuff like this doesn't happen here.

tuco44 · 03-21-2018, 12:06 PM

Likewise, fail to see this as funny.

holy shitt that pile up is insane.

jlstyle · 03-21-2018, 02:54 PM

Whoever find this funny is sick to their minds.

You need help pal.

Germanauto · 03-21-2018, 03:31 PM

I've gotta admit I cracked up when the group of 4 were oblivious to the entire situation and got rekkt.

Red Bread · 03-21-2018, 03:34 PM

Lighten up goobers. Was any one killed? (One person was listed as being in supervised care as of a day ago, ten others have been released.) If you've ever skied, or worked in a ski area, you've surely let it run through your head what could go wrong with a lift or gondola. This is that realized.

Clearly a smart and generous soul was yelling at the folks trapped on the descending chairs to get off. Some folks were clearly too scared to dump themselves out and paid the consequences.

If you've laughed at a Mustang leaving C&C or anything similar, you're a hypocrite.

I guess so, along with a bunch of other people on this board.....

Lighten up dude, no one was killed.....

Does "Breeyah!" mean "Jump?" The guy with the GoPro helped a lot of people avoid more serious injury by telling them to GTFO before they hit the bottom.

JasonCSU · 03-21-2018, 04:31 PM

Each time I see these clips I am still shocked at the people who didn't attempt to bail out towards the bottom of the lift. I imagine it's hard to think straight when one finds themselves in such a situation, but what did they think was going to happen by staying on the lift?

Please do enlighten us on how it's the same. The lift was going backwards and it was out of anyone's control. You obviously don't ski/snowboard much do ya?
Mustang drivers are purposely doing that crap.

Let's say I've been to most places in north america and couple places in Europe. Been doing it for 2 decades. Will be up at the mountain this weekend and seeing shit like this is terrifying.

Anyho if you've worked at these area, you should have more empathy no?
