VAIL, Colo. —  The guy who ended up dangling upside down from a ski lift with his bare bottom whistling in the wind probably doesn't want to hear any "ski bum" jokes. Vail Resorts said the 48-year-old man wasn't injured and was rescued after about seven minutes. His name hasn't been released.

Resort officials have said only that the man was trying to get on the Blue Ski Basin lift on New Year's Day. They haven't said what went wrong.

Resort workers stopped the lift, backed it up about 10 or 12 feet and rescued the man.

Bystanders snapped photos and posted them the Internet, showing a man who looks to be hanging by one ski boot, his ski pants and underwear apparently snagged in the chair and reaching no farther than his knees.

Vail spokeswoman Liz Biebl confirmed the photos on one site were in fact the victim.

Doesn't look like anyone I know.   Wink

Glad to hear he wasn't injured.  Probably treated for chapping, and released. 

Best,

George

KERAP!

I have been outed!  No one was suppose to recognize me!

And people were teasing me in the "I am bored. Let's Fight" thread about my "thing" being so small ...  Well, wouldn't YOURS be small too after being exposed to the world and the COLD for so long?  Heck, I even stuck my finger up my butt, and yelled "SNAKE!" to try and scare him back out, but to no avail ...

Hmmmm ?? ?? ??

Dangling Chuck
