Talk about embarrassing. An unfortunate man has been forever enshrined in the red faced Hall of Shame after an incident that landed him on web pages around the world.
It happened on New Year’s Day as the unknown victim was heading out for what should have been a fun afternoon at the Blue Sky Basin resort in Vail, Colorado. The 48-year-old was trying to get on board the ski lift when something went very wrong.
The man somehow slipped off the chair and wound up dangling from the mountain elevator by one boot. His precarious perch was made worse by the fact his pants and his underwear had somehow gotten snagged in the seat and were forced down, leaving the poor schlub dangling there for more than seven minutes with his bare bottom exposed to the world.
This being the digital age, everyone grabbed their cell phones and began snapping pictures of the helpless hostage. Minutes later, the pics were posted on the web for the world to see.
Officials worked as fast as they could to get the man out of his unfortunate predicament, backing up the lift several feet and finally rescuing the would-be skier.
They’re still investigating what went wrong but say other than his pride being hurt, the man didn’t have any physical injuries, although you might say he was suffering from exposure.
