Kramer, I suspect you are right, there is something not quite right about it (apart from the obvious) looks almost 'cartoony'

I have to confess that something like the second clip actually happen to me once with my rucksack getting court on the chair. Thankfully it only dragged me a little way around and all I had was a little dented pride and a telling off by the liftie! I've always made sure I completely buckled up since.

stevew, I too have had an 'OHNO moment' (a moment that only lasts a few seconds but feels like a lifetime!) once getting off a chair with my backpack getting caught. Thankfully I wasn't dragged anywhere as I couldn't slide far enough forward to get off, but when I eventually did, I made my exit in the same direction the chair was departing with a frantic skate step or 2 to get out of its way.
I now make very sure that waist and chest belts are well buckled and the excess strapping tucked under.
Of course, this could all be avoided if one headed the common warning signs at chairs showing that riders should hold their backpacks on their laps!  Come to think of it, do any snowheads actually do this?

This week at the thing that shall not be named, I started to use a bigger camelbak. I have used a smaller one with no problem in the past.
It was not a problem until half way into the week where a lose strap got caught while I was still going up the hill. I undid it before I got to the top station. But it was enough of a scare that eveytime I remembered I did take it off and put it on my front or lose over my arm.

I started off taking my backpack off and holding it but soon realised I was the exception rather than the rule so kept it on after then. I tend to keep the straps tight and loose ends tucked in to avoid them flailing around whilst skiing.

Very few people, even guides and instructors seem to take off their rucksacks. I must admit that i always think that I'm more at risk of messing up if I'm carrying the sack and dropping it on landing, even given my above mention experience! Nick_C, didn't you camelback freeze up, that's the reason I've never used my cycling one?
