The case when "unlucky" is too mild a word:
At a ski resort in North Carolina, a ski lift with a skier stuck right above a broken pipe.

Surely you could grab a snowboard and atleast slightly re-direct the flow/fountain/geyser...

That’s some wild shit

At least it wasn't a sewer pipe.
shimmernshine
are you sure about that?
ferengilovesongs69
Each time I see this I cannot for the life of me understand why the lifts aren’t moving. Someone hated this guy and stopped the ride
ferengilovesongs69
The original video shows this guy getting blasted over ten minutes and has to drop to the ground. Again lifts are separate from pipes.So why

Jump but make it look like a fall and sue

Oh I would have jumped and sacrificed my legs bones.

I feel like the people on the ground with snow boards should have at least attempted to divert it by putting the board over it

Best they could do was to try and divert the jet with a heavy object, the snowboards likely wouldn't help much here
Maviyakuku
Ride the jet down.
bladderinfection
I would have tried to deflect it using a snowboard. It absolutely would stop nothing, but it could have eased some of the blast.

Which also explains the brown snow

Are you expecting someone to do something? Are you expecting them to be sitting instead?
Emrys12
People will do that everywhere
sandwiched
I thought the same thing. It totally could have helped deflect the flow enough to give the riders a respite. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
ServerMonkeyKing
Or shoved a snowboard up their ass when it gets ripped out of your hands.
theDogter
How it really feels, chewing 5 gum

jump then

Person videoing is either panicking, laughing hard or has some kind of mobility disorder.

He will make history: the first man to drown on a ski lift.
iamlegendinjapan
They probably did classify it as a failed drowning

I'll argue he could've been MoRE unlucky- that could be sewage
ziggystardust7
if it were nobody would be standing that close prbly
Bunhyung
So does this count as a shallow water drowning?
Velina
its not necessarily liquid drowning at all
Bunhyung
I would guess that the pipe is for transporting water up the hill for snowmaking purposes.
Velina
honestly hadn't considered that, never worked a ski slope. makes sense though i had just assumed it was some gas.
tigeroftheskies
Don't worry theres a medical code for that
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
I’m laughing hysterically because the new medical codes are so ridiculously specific like that! XD
PhurbuMukpodom
And there is probably a separate IDC-10 one for “second incident”

I don't know, this bidet seems a bit excessive.

So fresh and clean after though.

How do you dry your parts after using one of those?
ATastyCorpsesicle
Using a bidet doesn't mean you don't use toilet paper. It just makes the latter's job easier.
MeowWoof
Mine has an air blower. But you still use paper to dry, just half as much or less.

Can.. can we install this “feature” in the Supreme Court?
DrLivingstoneIpresume
“Unlucky” in the moment, assuming they survive hypothermia, I suspect that court case will pay well.
TacocattacocattacocattacocaT
Nah... This person did something horrible.
SmilinSloth
If they're smart they will take a lesser amount of out court. Trying to sue them would cost you money + you get nothing.

Found the American! What do I win?

"they could have moved the lift fwd like... 2 feed. even like a foot and a half!"
Frederf
Duurrrr company policy is to halt the lift in all emergencies.
Judany73
Based on the debris I wonder if the pipe damaged the lift or some infrastructure and they had no way to move it.
circlebreaker
Assumed the mechanical parts of a chairlift, like any other machine, can be moved (albeit with difficulty) manually in worst-case scenarios?
InvadingYourSpaces
A power outage might've caused a pressure event. Those are the snowmaking pipes, and some auto-shutoff might've burst the lines between.
SideBoobsWillGetYouBanned
Tell me you are from the US without telling me you are from the US. The "I can sue" mentality from any accident is strange to me 1/2
Kalthramis
Because a lawsuit is the only way anything will happen here.

no wonder you've got 100 pages T&C on everything. 2/2

This happened in North Carolina, which is located in America.

It's also a consequence of our terrible health care system. Only way to afford the medical bills is to make the company pay
