A recent “Jerry of the Day” video captures a dramatic moment where a snowboarder is seen hanging from a safety net at the end of a chairlift. It appears the snowboarder either tried to exit the chairlift too early or slipped just before reaching the offramp, resulting in them dangling precariously from the net while another individual clings to them. As tension mounts in the footage, a quick-thinking snowcat driver arrives on the scene, immediately exiting the vehicle to assess the situation.
Demonstrating resourceful action, the operator then repositions the snowcat so its roof is directly beneath the stranded snowboarder. Climbing back out, the operator assists the snowboarder in making a safe, albeit short, drop onto the snowcat’s roof, showcasing remarkable presence of mind and responsiveness.
