HENNIKER, N.H. — Disturbing video from the slopes of New Hampshire where a young girl slipped under a chairlift safety bar and was left dangling by the foot rest before loosing her grip and crashing to the ground.
The incident happened over the weekend at Pats Peak Ski Resort, just uphill from the chairlift loading area. The resort’s general manager said the child was attempting to lower the restraint bar before slipping from the seat.
Thankfully resort staff were alerted in time, stopped the chairlift and positioned padding below the young skier to break the child’s fall. Ski patrol evaluated the girl after the incident and confirmed she was not injured.
