Talk about Freezing your 'Nads Off

This poor guy was tangled up in a malfunctioning lift at Vail. He was with a young child, whom I'm sure will be traumatized for life but maybe the millions they will get in a settlement will help ease the trauma. Poor man hung like that for at least 15 minutes. (If you can't tell, you need to click on the photo to enlarge it. Poor man was stranded with his pants down. Now there is definitely a good reason for wearing bibs when skiing.)

I promise it is true. This photo was taken by another skier. The story was posted on Drudge Report. Believe me, the lift was a fast moving one and the safety bar didn't go all the way down, his ski got tangled, he fell forward and lucky him the binding didn't release.

What you mean lucky him? The twenty foot fall into powder would have at least saved this man from this humiliation even if it did break his neck.
