Tightrope Walker Scales Ski Wire to Rescue Dangling Man
What could have been a horrifying ski accident turned into a larger than life rescue thanks to a tightrope artist jumping into action.
An unidentified skier was riding a lift chair up a mountain at Arapahoe Basin in Colorado when he attempted to disembark the unit and got his backpack stuck on the rigging. Instead of skiing away from the lift, he went around the bullwheel and was sent back down the mountain. But after the lift operator turned off the machine, disaster struck.
