11 year old Cameron Prangley fell 30 feet from a Ragged Mountain chairlift on Saturday suffering bumps, bruises and a concussion but thankfully a full recovery is expected. His father who was riding the lift at the time is clearly shaken up over the incident and feels the mountain is partially to blame because no one was operating the lift’s shutdown button at the time. Best wishes for a speedy recovery to Cameron.
