| Vail Chairlift Accident Leaves Man Dangling Pantless |
| 2009-01-06 |
| If you think people laugh at your skiing skills then think again. A man was a put into a precarious and undoubtedly embarrassing position while skiing with his child at Vail mountain last Friday. According to reports, the chairlift's fold-down seat was not in the correct lowered-down position - causing the man to partially fall through the resulting gap as he attempted to board the lift. He was prevented from plummeting to the ground below by his right ski, which became jammed in the ascending lift. |

| #7 I have nightmares about this sort of thing. In one, I was attending a reception for the governor and arrived in my suit and tie, only to find that I had forgotten my trousers. |

| #1 He was very fortunate twice. First, that he didn't go straight down on rocks with his noggin. Second, that they didn't charge him with indecent exposure for mooning half Colorado. |
