Rescue of Boy Hanging from Ski Lift in Utah - Full Video

- I was on the chair in front of him when I heard him calling for help! I could hardly believe what I was seeing! His backpack got stuck under the arm of the seat! I tried to keep him calm. I was afraid that he would dislodge himself and fall to the ground and get really injured! Luckily everything turned out okay. A lot of things could have gone wrong, but they didn't. I felt helpless just watching him hang there. The ski patrol was quick to respond and had him down in about 15 minutes. If the lift had gone another 5', they would have had to take even more drastic measures to rescue him. Fortunately he was in a position where he was being suspended by his shoulder straps and he wasn't being choked or anything. Jukin Media Verified (Original)

Poor kid. That had to be terrifying. He actually managed to hold off the inevitable panic attack for quite awhile. And a good move by the rescuers to just let him chill up on on the chairlift after freeing his arms before actually lowering him down.
Well, this kid was stupid enough not using the safety bar. I hope he learned his lesson.
Karma? Don't be a fool maby
Issac kept his composure for so long. He didn't let himself panic until he was sure the help had arrived. That was really well done on his part for a kid his age. At 22 I was in a very scary situation on a cliff, but much less scary than this, and I had my first ever panic attack and it took a lot to pull myself together.
Guy with no coat is a beast! Awesome job. Poor kid! If I ever need to be rescued, I want that guy!!!
I watched everything everyone did and literally he assessed the scenario and did everything like a one man show. True hero
I was actually 40 feet to the left of camera on this day. I remember hearing the kid screaming and no one know what to do. Then we heard the snowmobile and turned to see him flying up the mountain in just a T-shirt and his hair blowing in the wind, looking like an action hero. Knew straight away this guy would know what to do, he was incredible.
Haha...love the way he flew in, saw what was going on, jumped on his skimobile, flew out, flew back, threw up ladder,, sent the small guy up and then just climbed himself, saved the kid! No coat, no thought of himself, just save the kid!!! Awesome man for sure
“with no”, what about “without”? U must be American. 😂😂😂 Coffee with no milk. Horrendous butchery of the English language.
Me also!!
In 40yrs skiing I've never seen a lift rescue, very reassuring!
This was a shit rescue.
They should climb up the tower uphill, then move a long the cable to the cart, with safety gear of course.
@@dubious6718 they look like a bunch of stoners.
The "rescue" was bunch of clowns. Good to know where not to go skiing.
@@exTNTcz You can tell this rarely happens by the fact they weren't even prepared to quickly deal with this. People who fall off a lift probably normally fall all the way rather than hanging. They initially came with no ladder, then tried laying matts down, then decided to go for a ladder. Luckily everything worked out OK, which is why the rescuers are being praised.
You did a really good job trying to keep him calm. That kid thought...
@Carcar what do you expect? Poor kid said he couldn’t feel his arms. That was a long time for him to be hanging. I think he stayed remarkably calm given the situation. What he can’t yell or let out his frustration?
This boy did not help ........ at all !!! 🙄🙄
Screw you guys who say anything bad about this boy. Seriously, he did amazing. He was probably in so much pain for his little body and was so scared. The kid is like, what 8? This was very real and scary. You’re an asshole with a small peepee.
XDDDD
Kid was hurting.
he was in a panic attack so of course hes going to scream.
Actually if anything he really needed someone to sit there and continually pop him questions and just keep talking to him 100% of the time to keep his mind off the pain!! No body kept talking to him and so that's another reason why he'd stream to as the pain just keep increasing as the circulation was cut off... They didnt do a good job in my mind to keep him distracted... That's the best situation for that poor kid was for someone to use distraction techniques to keep his mind off the pain and on other things!! They should have just keep peppering him with questions for him to answer!
Who ever the long hair dude is, deserves a medal.
Kids are maniacs out there. I've been on the lift when they suddenly stand up and start bouncing the lifts up and down. The oscillation grows and grows because of wave mechanics and before you know everyone within several hundred feet of them are holding on for dear life. I pray none of you ever have to experience this, I've had to twice. I came within inches of beating one group of 14 year old butts to a pulp. They had half the people in terrified tears. This is directed at you So.Cal. riders and resorts. Put an end to this stupidity!
The amount of anxiety this gave me..
OMFG! This poor boy! Thank GOD for those that helped him! And the dude with the long hair no coat bless you for the speed and strength of you!! ❤❤❤
Great video, Phil. It made me happy to see your efforts to calm the young boy. It must have been so frightening.
Not much I could do. I'm just happy that he wasn't being strangled or had fallen or something.
@@utahframer Well in that case the best thing would have been using distraction techniques to keep him calm and keep his mind off the pain... You just should have peppered him with questions... Where do you go to school?, How do you like school?, What's your favorite sport? Who your favorite teacher?, What's your favorite class in school?
But if you listen close you can hear the ski patrol say he looked awful blue, indicating some strangulation, just after they rescued him... Now if you didn't see it its because when they freed him they just let him sit up there and relax for a bit for him to calm down and for the blue to go outta his skin! But i can believe it if they said his face and hands were blue!! Its a good thing Ski Patrol worked as fast as they could have to free him because seconds sure counted in that situation!!
Now yeah I could see you not thinking of using distraction as a method of keeping him calm however because it was a tense situation and no one knew if he was "caught good" or hanging in there by a thread, so yeah that definitely would have been a VERY TENSE situation.
'freezing' ...
Respect to the Rescuer who turns up wearing only a Tee-shirt!
he drives the snow car like a harley xD
Poor kid he did really well and great job staff it’s reassuring if ever am stuck on a lift 🙏🏾
It’s so hard to watch him in pain. That was a long time.
That kid was actually choking for a good 30-50seconds you can see him start kicking when he has no airflow and once hes pulled up he starts gasping for air, no joke.
I can't believe noone noticed that. A few second after the guy starts to pull on him and lift his arms, he says "I can't breathe." at 5:13 Then he starts to go limp a little bit, kicks around a little bit, then at 5:24 he tries twice to say again "I can't breathe." He then spend the next 50 seconds choking in this position, flailing his legs trying to get momentum upwards for a breathe. Finally they pull him up and at 6:19 you can hear the boy gasping for air at last.
You can still hear him making noises so he's able to move air.
I noticed that! They should’ve moved the chair
@Sussy ass motherfucka he’s literally caught by the back of his jacket, so he can’t move himself.
@@Francis-rs7zu I think a guy named Derek Chauvin tried that logic.
Well done on all the rescuers part!! Thank god we have people like them!
Really? Seemed to me like a bunch of clowns.
@@coleman6131 go touch grass💀
The man’s throw like come on.
'Just hang in there.'
'Ok dad.'
🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂
how does one even get into this situation and how did he manage to be the only one on the lift.
Because they’re kids? Must be so hard to be perfect 🙄
Not putting down the bar and moving around carelessly
@Sussy ass motherfucka well seems like yours is a resort of idiots, anyway putting it down is even more comfortable, spending a lot of time with your skies hanging can hurt (tho this lift doesn't have anything to put them on).
@Sussy ass motherfucka There is a reason 95% of these videos where someone falls out of a lift are from the US/Canada. You wont go on a single lift ride in europe where the bar is not lowered. Everyone lowers it, everyone. Sure, nice that people can manage to go up without it but if something unexpected happens it will safe you or others riding with you. And its not even a disadvantage. It is literally more comfortable since you have something for your hands and feet to rest on
@Sussy ass motherfucka yeah i just checked that (probably for profit reasons) ski lifts in the US seem to be mostly outdated, having only 2 to 4 seats, without cushions and they stay on the same cable at the same speed, meaning they dont switch to a separate cable when in the station for you to sit down slowly. Therefore the the overall speed is slower reducing the risk. Does that also hold true for your resort, otherwise i dont really get it since the modern ones are usually very comfortable... some very new ones even automatically lower the bar
Hey the same thing happened to me in park city Utah ! The lifts and runs are wild ! Glad he made it! Good job 👏
He was so calm until help came
Wow those guys figured that out so fast! Nice job!
Half the commenters here wouldn't last 15 seconds hanging their body weight in this way. Kid is brave and did real good. Rescuers did a great job.
@Stefan Parocki yes
He's hanging by his backpack, which is stuck under the arm of the seat.
aber furchtbar zappeln und strampeln, während ein Retter ihn hochziehen will? Diese Männer waren sehr schnell und haben sich deshalb nicht gesichert. Wäre es dumm gelaufen, hätte er seinen Retter hinunterkatapultiert. Der Junge schreit ja auch erst los, als er die Retter sieht. Ich kenne das aus dem Sportunterricht...
Слава Богу за спасателей!
И мальчику всех благ и восстановиться от испуга
Молодцы ребята 👍👍👍👍
exactly same thing happened to me more than 30 years ago in austria - i guess i was around 10yrs
my jacket somehow caught on the seat at the drop-off and picked me right back up .....
i still remember the exact view to the operater-office-window as i passed and he just read his magazine as a screamed in horror ....
after a couple of seconds though they noticed me and stopped the lift ....already behind the safety net ....it was much deeper than in this video and also the lift tower widened on the bottom with all that metal structure to fall into looked horrifying
so glad when they put it in reverse and got me off that thing!!!
This kids never going skiing again nor are his kids’ kids
Wow lucky that he wasn't choking there. Well done by rescue team, creativity and quick construction to save him. Wp
Wow he’s tuff and brave and I’m glad he’s ok
Nah, he screamed like a baby.
@@Venisor21you are the only one who is a baby.
You did the best jop ever.7 live this perplex the help
That poor boy... I wonder how painful it was from all the screaming
Heroes 😭😭
Poor kid he’s in terrible pain.
How terrible!!!!! This poor little boy! 😢 this was so hard to watch!!!
Bet he'll stay seated next time
Don’t be an idiot. There’s actually a Rescue 911 story on here out of Odgen Ut, where a girl slipped out because no one attended to her side of ski lift while someone was on her moms side.
@@jennifergray410 Most accidents are caused by. Somebody's negligence ,there are some things that happen where you don't get a second chance to screw up.
I'm not the idiot here just stating facts
all the people bashing the rescue team should go be on a rescue team. like it's hard to get all this shit done in timely matter especially in the snow.
damn..lucky he dident fall tho from all the wiggling
Yes that 10 foot fall would be terrible 🤦♂️
@@martywatts7274 fr i would have rather fell bro
I feel so bad for him!
Great job by the 2 rescuers on the ladder
Okay, but where the heck are his parents? Who leaves a tiny little kid alone on a ski resort, let alone ski lifts?
It's got nothing to do with the parents. Accidents happen and fathers don't coddle thier sons at his age.
Well let me answer ur my parents did when my dad broke his leg so yea
They were on the chair behind him, at least I would think.
He is probably old enough to go by himself when I was like 11 my parents would let me go by myself
@@phoenixdukes513 jesus christ this made me lose braincells.
I hope he's doing good and didn't break his arm
Да здравствуют спасатели !
Big dude with a t shirt is a badass. Thats a steep moving ladder.
As a mom hearing that poor child scream in pain about broke me. I could hardly watch this.😢😢
I just turned the volume down.
So glad he didnt fall
The kid did not lower the safety bar once he got on.. I see this all the time,,, I guess some folks think it’s not cool to lower the bar… I use it every time…
Super scary - poor kid appears to me at risk serious of asfixia, in the same way as if one was crucified. With the weight of the lower body pulling down, the torso stretched out and shoulder unable to support, the diaphragm is impeded from exhalation.
I do not understand why wasn’t the safety bar down. A child that age who is by himself so I am guessing he was experienced enough to ski alone would know the safety of putting the safety bar down.
He was going to get off the lift, so of course the safety bar was up... You cannot get off a lift if the safety bar is down lol!! Probably the boy didn't even know he was snagged till it was to late. Which had to have been a incredible surprise to him!!
I’m not saying its right, but a lot of experienced skiers don’t bother with the safety bar. It’s actually pretty hard to fall off a ski lift mid-ride. The vast majority of ski-lift incidents occur during loading/unloading. If its particularly windy, or its a lift that I know serves a lot of beginner runs-which means more less-experienced skiers (who also tend to have issues loading/unloading and leads to more mid-ride halts on the lift), I’ll put the bar down.
@@cmconley33 All good until some skier messes up and the lift jolts to a stop and you take a nice tumble
@@cmconley33 I have been skiing for around 18 years. I have not once in my life been on a lift ride with the bar up. Everyone reaches out to lower it, if you dont do it yourself someone else will. It has nothing to do with "experienced", but everything to do with the country. For some reasons the US decided "FREEDOM we dont lower it". Every video where someone falls out is from the US. I dont get why people dont put it down over there. Its way more safe and way more comfortable
I bet this kid is still trying to get this upload taken down.
i think so too
Poor kid
Where are his parents? Neglect at it's finest.
I feel bad. The video started and I immediately started laughing.
So for some reason halfway in this, I decide to play oblivion npc music in the background, and somehow it totally matched the rescuing.. gold :D
the lift looks so much higher while you're on it too
Tutto finito bene. I soccorritori..sono stati bravi..con le norme di sicurezza..e la in breve tempo...!! Super tutti...
At what point did somebody NOT read squares versus diamonds.
How is he hanging there? 😢
It broke my heart that hear the kid scream for help.
And that’s why you always take one arm out of your backpack!
The Ski Lifts in the USA are so insecure. I recognized this, when I was in California at my uncle‘s place. We went one day skiing ⛷. How wonder I had even problems to get on the right time with my uncle on the sit. They are really old fashion according to the lifts here in Switzerland.
Yes, this is true, but you need to take into consideration the use of the helmet. This brings the chair safety rating up to a acceptable level. And I’ve heard rumor that a lot of USA skiers and boarders are caring airbags in the back packs. With this you are as safe as a Sunday drive on a deserted country road.
@@jameshuntsman6046 , what’s an airbag and why do they use it?
How did that happen
This was hard to watch😢
How do u even do this, its not like sitting on a lift is hard
ive actually done that when i was like 5 but i was on the back and it was still spinning
How is he hanging also the people behind them are like “oh no”😮
How did he got stuck??
Poor guy.
how did he get by himself and how did he get on the edge of the lift lmfao
It seems the backpack saved him from completely falling off the lift
great to know he got out ok but what did he do to get in that position in the first place, I'd really like to know because it looks like it's at the beginning of the chair lift
evan rocha so this is at a resort I utah called sundance and they have two stops on the lift, I'm assuming he was getting off on the middle stop and while he was getting off his bag got stuck
He’s a kid
I dont understand... was he hooked onto the chair lift? How was he not falling?
I think he realised he needed to scream cause he felt like nothing was happening
Kids just experienced mid evil stretch torture. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The stress
My question is how did he end up in that position in the first place?
Probably didn’t put the safety bar down.
He'd just passed a midway unloading station and intended to get off the lift there, but his back pack got caught in the chair somehow and he couldn't ski away. Instead the lift pulled him up the slope for about 50 feet with him hanging there until they stopped the lift.
Glad they made it. But its not surprising, so many lifts in the US dont have saftey bars or people dont use them....
How in the world he got himself n that situation??? Hu!
How did the kid got stuck there
Вопрос: Как он оказался в такой ситуации и чего кричит?
I feel sad for him
I had this happen to me except instead of my backpack holding me on the lift, it was just my hands. Scared the hell out of me but I went back out the next day and was fine.
If anyone there saw him get stuck, how did he get stuck?
having got the ladder in place, they should have removed his ski's first to enable a faster rescue. poor lad, dangling there, I felt his frustration.
@Stefan Parocki A stupid thing to say? You said a kid choking to death screaming out for help "has issues" you're beyond a moron
How? Those skis are locked on and it takes a lot of force to remove them. Unlikely they could reach the bindings from the ladder anyway.
Парень переволновался , хорошо что спасли, быстро лыжи снять и врача парню
Hahahaha, you were saved by Sammy Hagar on a snowmobile!
I don't get what he was hanging by
The arm straps of his backpack.
@@cmconley33 made to rest
what was he thinking flailing around like that? And why is he wearing a backpack and why was he wearing it on the lift? so many questions...
Many people ski with a backpack. They can use the backpack to carry water, food, hand warmers, cell phones, etc. I'm not sure how it got caught in the chair, but somehow it got stuck in the area where the handle meets the seat. The resort suggests that if you are going to wear a backpack, that you remove it before you enter the lift and hold it on your lap.
I understand wearing a backpack, but a kid his age really shouldn't be wearing one especially on the lift. Thanks for filming this anyways!
Scott M. Probably that he's swinging from a chair 20 ft up and that it's the most terrified he's ever been in his life how about we give the kid a break and be happy he was okay instead of criticizing him on every move
A lot of people ski with a backpack carrying water and other supplies. What exactly are you meant to do with a backpack on a ski lift? You wear the backpack. You just have to watch for loose straps.
@@cmconley33 you're meant to take the arm straps off and carry it on your front. that way if the straps get caught the liift doesnt take you with it
And that was the last time little Timmy ever fucked with the safety bar...
It's gonna be okay, just hang in there.
Sorry, but I had to laugh when he said that to a kid literally hanging off a ski lift.
he is a champ
holy moly that was crazy if this was anoyone else someone older and heavier couldve def been a lot worse
They clearly need a LOT more training on how to get down people stuck on lifts.
Wtf is the kid screaming about..what could possibly be hurting him...lol..too funny 🤣
what the fuck is wrong with you like actually
@@c0bweb_m0thz honestly
what the fuck is your problem
There seems to be several of these situations on CZcams where a kid (general male) gets in these situations. In one the lift is backed up and in others the kids drops into so kind of net people are holding.
Yeah it’s a chairlift things like this happen
sexist
@@MentalParadox no let’s face it the boys our the ones that are dumb enough to get into the situation anyways I’m even a boy
Where are his parents why is he alone on the lift?
Animals!!!!!!
How he staked there
How was Phil on the chair in front of him and on the ground at the same time? Something very fishy going on here
It's a conspiracy! Maybe the aliens did it?
I understand it is good to teach somethings at an early age, but oh my god, id have a heart attack if it was my child. Hope the little one is ok once down.
Why didn't they put the ladder at the front of the chair?
How do this happen
