righthandedlefty Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Hey man. I was waiting in line when it all happened. My girl was working the Quad @ the time it happened. Noone other then the kids he was on the chair with know what happened for him to end up hanging from the lift. All my girl knew is that when they got to him he was hanging from the SAFTEY BAR. How that happened/wtf he was doing we've got the least of ideas. They pulled some pads off the lift towers and light poles and he jumped down without injury and walked away,he walked by me on his way down and seemed fine. Not sure if he went and got checked out just in case or anything but from what I last heard he was fine. ...adam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jveix33 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah you actually have to like try and fall off a lift to make it happen. Especially if you've got the saftey bar down. He must have been trying to be cool or something who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorsey! Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 i got some of it on video, but i turned it off cuz i didnt wanna film a little kid getting worked. the kid ended up being fine and walked down the mountain by himself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jveix33 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Yeah that would be wierd to have to watch that later. That's good that he's fine. I'll have to tell my friend about this. He seems to think that falling from a lift is instant death, I said it's more likely to get a broken leg or two broken legs. He disagrees. At least I can tell him this story and I can be right. Glad that kid's okay though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
righthandedlefty Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 it happened last night (fri.) on the quad....im not sure how old was the kid i'd guess maybe 16 but he was just hanging off of the lift at the 1st pole...i'd say about 30 feet and then he just let go and dropped Like he said,it was around 30 feet from where he was to the ground. I know the quad operators and other employees that came to help him were mad,they were trying to make a big enough padded area for him so he wouldnt get hurt and he just dropped,didnt tell them. Oh well....Im still yet to figure out how this even happened...... ..adam.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GNU_rider Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 Yeah I talked to a couple of my friends that are lifties about this last night and after I heard about the safety bar thing I'm almost positive he was going to drop off the lift somewhere along the line but then just pussied out or got freaked out.

coasterdude28 Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 I did not know about the kid who fell off of the quad. I did hear an update on the kid that fell off of the triple last weekend though. He stress fractured his spine but will recover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
