fatbob, it is indeed a re-run, but I never tire of it. A classic.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Talking of shameless, it's watching some of the bigger people that had me smiling wryly, watching their awful attempts at 'helping' their (probably much more capable) smaller counterparts off the chair when they themselves should have spent another day or two in lessons on the nursery slope.

There was a classic in Soldeu a few years ago. Can't remember which chair it was but, the exit was too high, so people were struggling to stand up. People were falling from nearly every chair.
I wish I'd had a video camera with me, as it could've made a fortune from You've Been Framed.

andyph, I didn't watch the one in the OP until you posted this, because (Seeing Hurtle's response) I thought that was the one fatbob had posted.

frank4short, if I imagine that these really are beginners falling over, it's not funny really. But if I imagine it's a set-up (surely!?) then it kills me. Belongs at the top of the practical joke thread.

I've seen the 2nd one before. It's not until you tangle with one you realise just what unstoppable objects ski lifts are and how much weight can be in them. Anything from Poma & T bars to full blown 8 seater chairs seems able to do you a mischief. In fact at the risk of mentioning the H word, it's been mistakes on ski lifts (partic. chairs) rather than any other form of ski accident that make me see the wisdom in wearing one - I've taken more than a couple of really solid cracks on the nut from lifts that I've misjudged and think that wearing a H has probably saved me from some rather nasty bruises, possible knockouts and gashes.

Yep the WME (probably in the days when it was still Warren himself) is the classic but I've always suspected that the off ramp was specially iced for comic effect on that. the Mt Rose just illustrates the sheer number of problems a fixed grip chair gives and my amusement is in the lifties running around rather than the fallers after all we've all been there ( & in my case still am when on a snowboard
