Maybe it’s the tears in my old eyes for the altruistic intentions and good ending, but it appears that everyone involved here in the rescue response is also white. Amirite, or not?? Things that make you go Hmmmm
.
OTOH, only white people would develop such a costly and elaborate system in the first place: just to cart people to the top of a hill so that they can slide to the bottom.
Reminds me of the story about a family pet that fell down into some kind of deep shaft hole in the ground.
At the bottom, its bark or cry was heard, and numerous adults were standing around postulating about how to rescue it, with ropes, harnesses, poles, etc, as the shaft was too narrow for a human to climb down and retrieve the doggie.
Not sure about all the details, but…
A kid comes along. Suggests filling the shaft with a slow trickle of water, maybe from a garden hose.
Water level rises to the top, the pup floats on the surface, problem solved.
Getting other brains in on the problem sometimes yields brilliant results. Even from kids among adults.
Not covered in the video was the act or acts of utter stupidity which resulted in a child dangling from a ski lift in the first place.
or why the adults were standing down by the lift base trading thumbs between their a$$holes and their mouths in unison…..
Having had a few brushes with gravity on ski lifts, I can tell you that trying to get three people (or sometimes even 4) successfully seated onto a moving “couch” covered in wet snow, with a wet ass, is not always the easiest or most graceful thing in the world. Sometimes it doesn’t take an act of utter stupidity to end up falling from one of these things. Clearly they have just left the station, so it was probably the kid just trying to reposition himself on the seat and the combination of wet snow, vinyl seats, and his fellow passengers that led to the mishap.
WTF’s the ski patrol?
That’s ‘where’ not ‘what.’
That was wonderful. Brought a tear to my eye as well.
