Drag lift blooper

This was last Sunday. I was mortified afterwards when I saw the video, looked like it was on purpose, but I promise it wasn't!!! Dad's please watch as your kids cross in front of drag lifts!

Another "thats whay you should wear a lid" video! I have seen that a few times but also when it gets caught under peoples ski jackets and drags them for ages until the lift operator realises and cuts the power!!
Good video though

Am i sick?

I laughed.

Looks amazing there.

Thats the Jura, just 30k from geneva. Gets a bad rep around here, but as I live local, that makes me happy.

:twisted: Great shot sir!

Would you be interested in joining a pub skittles team?

This video is also a prime example of where people stand in the wrong places when skiing ...... Why do people always stop at the top of some lifts, usually drag lifts to re arrange a glove, a pole, a boarder doing up his boot.....?

Just don't get it at all. Move to the side, get out of the way and leave the exit open :evil:

I remember going on the draglift up the easy blue run at Kirchdorf and a ski school group with Instructor were coming down to cross over the drag lift route onto the run. The Instructor shouted to all the kids to stop - all but one little smart arse did - I hoped and prayed he would ski below me after I had gone passed - and guess who he took out and who I was non too impressed with (I had no way to avoid him as he came directly at my legs). Unfortunately I saw him and his parents back at the bottom of the slope at the end of the afternoon and his parents had the audacity (after he pointed me out) to come over and ask why I had sat on their child and messed up his afternoon, so you can imagine my response (somewhat polite as said child was standing there) and impressed upon them to teach their child to listen to an Instructor - and to understand the simple word 'STOP'! He was lucky I did not kebab him with my pole!! :twisted:

It's the same people that stop to talk at the top of an escalator.
