A good reminder not to mess around on chairlifts.  This guy had been throwing snowballs when he slid off the chair and ended up hanging from the chair. He hung for 2-3 minutes before falling 45+ feet. The fall landed the snowboarder in intensive care for 3 days.  His injuries including: skull fracture, concussion, collapsed lung, and a lacerated liver. Thankfully the snowboarder made a full recovery.
