Skyline Express: Man left dangling upside down, pantsless after Vail lift mishap
In a bizarre incident that will surely lead to litigation (or an out-of-court settlement), a skier at Colorado’s ritzy Vail Resort was left dangling upside down and pantsless from a chairlift last Thursday morning. The Jan. 1 mishap apparently occurred after the male skier, 48, and a child boarded a high-speed lift in Vail’s Blue Sky Basin.
It appears that the chairlift’s fold-down seat was somehow not in the lowered position, which caused the man to partially fall through the resulting gap. His right ski got jammed in the ascending chairlift, and that kept him upended since his boot never dislodged from its binding. TheВ Skyline Express lift was stopped shortly after the pair’s botched boarding resulted in the man dangling from the lift.
The exposed skier was stuck for about 15 minutes before Vail personnel backed the lift up and successfully dislodged the unidentified man from the four-seat chair. In a statement released this afternoon, Vail Resorts, which operates the ski area, reported that the skier was not injured after being “suspended for approximately seven minutes.” The press release did not explain how the mishap occurred, only that “the man was caught on the chair.” — from The Smoking Gun
News Flash: Six-year-old misses bus, takes family car, crashes, survives
Editor’s Note: At the time he went for a drive, the Moon was square Jupiter in Aries. The kid got lucky. For a second, I thought it was void of course, but Jupiter is out there in the last degree of Capricorn. Here is the chart, if you like studying these things. The asteroid, though I have not checked, would be Daedalus, which covers transportation.
WICOMICO CHURCH, Va. (AP) – A 6-year-old Virginia boy who missed his bus tried to drive to school in his family’s sedan—and crashed.
State police say the boy suffered only minor injuries and authorities drove him to school after he was evaluated at a local hospital. Sgt. Tom Cunningham says the boy arrived shortly after lunch.
It happened around 7:40 a.m. Monday on Route 360, about 61 miles east of Richmond.
Police say the boy, who wasn’t identified, missed the bus, took the keys to his family’s 2005 Ford Taurus and drove 10 miles toward school while his mother was asleep.
He ran off the road several times before hitting an embankment and utility pole about a mile and a half from school.
Police say he wasn’t wearing a safety belt.
mystes, thanks for the onion word. The onion theory suggest levels. That’s fifth dimension? Like the layers of the onion is our consciousness. I was still in the third dimension as healers talked about this. Now I am working the fourth which I needed the fifth to do. But I wanted to tie all this planetary energy in a straight line grid. Energies reaching the earth as generated by the bodies in space. But the response I got was reflecting galaxies and so I see what is in my energy field manifesting in the physical? Am I getting this right? I meant to read the books but the answers are manifesting for the asking. And now we got the overlap of galaxies.
And what will manifest with “the Onion”?
Eric, I had two things on my to do list. The top motivator was to look at the thing. that led me on another wild adventure all within a one mile radius. Never got to thing two.
Did you know that your site cannot be accessed on our county library system? Either you are naughty or someone out there thinks astrology is not fit for children. Like they’d care. So I went to the local library like a criminal and took a seat at a screen facing away from the librarian. Aha I can get in through email.
And if symbolina ain’t doing her work. They have no headsets or sound. Once again I sat in silence watching the pictures. The onion tech report juxtaposition definitely put me in a world of is this real? Then the orb started spinning entrancing its audience, and the vampire appeared (this is a big sell to the kids now, they all love the kind vampires who drink game animal blood and can love humans.) Her look was done in a faux canned female newscaster image, but if you look she has an extremely deep beauty that my eyes fell into, further entrancing the audience. Then they showed the guy with the big white screen on stage, the expert (there was something very mr peabodyish about that) but he really just looked like a car salesman. They set this thing in something resembling a lab, with the all american energetic white boy energy doing the narration.
But then came my key in to the marketing which made me replay this thing. The insect man. I call him that because I have always been attracted to men who look like insects. The guy with the glasses who suggests science. (Mr Peabody. And that would make me? Perhaps I should just get a dog and then I will really understand the word pee body.) Anyway, it moved on and I noticed the focus on the user. The young full bodied goddess stuffed in a semblence of office wear. I know this young woman. I’ve worked with her and she is definitely on the technological toy track.
When I looked at mr pee body again, he is a mock up of mr pee body. He is not the real deal. He more resembles henry kissenger. And in the list of phrases on the screen my eyes fell on something like “your absinthe is in the mail.” I ran the vampire stuff and the absinthe thing by my 15 year old vampire lover little sister (i have extended my family). Absinthe to her is something out of a Johnny Tremaine? book. Something his father got drunk on. (I think it is also made from something that made witches fly in the old herbal folklore) Ah mac book is the drug. Some kind of marketing.
It’s about texting easier. I don’t text so I don’t know. Once again I would have to run it by my little sister.
So, with the slow down of time, I am seeing subliminal messages in the timeline. And I ain’t the only one, just an extreme one, I am playing catchup. my first take on this flashed a book title I once saw “the goddess and the alphabet.” I could be off on this, but many very old cultures use symbols and we are young. I don’t know how languages evolve, but with what I am experiencing the words are getting shorter. We could be evolving toward a language of symbols. The words get faster and shorter and meld into conceptual symbols. Mix that with the open communications across the world and we develop a new world language. The kicker here is that it has been a long evolution. The evolutionary biologist showed a slide from a textbook. The early fertilized egg of a chicken, a fish, and a human aren’t discernible from each other. We as humans, as animals, share an awful lot of nonverbal communication (which we process alot faster than words and talk). If you doubt this, check out the dictionary of nonverbal communication out there. This shared understanding would be the basis of the new world language.
So what’s a bard to do? Just what mom and dad and granpaw and granmaw did. Deal with it. Or do we try to ban the rock and roll of language? If anyone feels insecure, find an old manual typewriter. It’s a long way off. Remember the time line isn’t moving as fast as we are. And stay in touch with the kids. I’ve been trying out my imagery in conversation with the kids. They can text, listen to the ipod, pick up emails, communicate and create with the snail that is me, and guide the person next to them all at the same time, and not bat an eye. It’s a brave new world and hey the kids are alright. We were always future oriented and we got an eclipse coming up which to my mind solves the old riddle ‘which comes first the chicken or the egg?” I see egg.
Why Next Thing You Know There’ll Be a White Onion on the Back of the MacBook
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any film editor worth his/her salt knows about “edit controllers” which Apple obviously used as their model for this wheel thing. (of course they use a similiar wheel device on the iPods etc.)
One of my staff engineers (at a non-linear edit system manufacturing company) – just for yucks – programmed a joy-stick from a military airplane to do the work of the mouse and keyboard on one of our editing systems……..Way more Fun than the edit controller (which, BTW have ALWAYS been more effective if you are dealing with Picture and Sound than Keyboards – OK unless you’re an online and/or “Avid Editor”.)
Anyway — if anyone is innane enough to let Apple write their sentences for them or to keep them unoriginally in a database of sentences “begnning with…” then um, well hey – what’s new? NOT the device. And NOT human nature to be L.A.Z.Y.
(Oh – and film/tv editors COUNT THE NUMBER OF “CLICKS” IT TAKES TO DO SOMETHING (shorten a cut, add a fade, etc. “clicks” or steps equal TIME). So – viewing only a few seconds of the clip……it’s Obvious that this edit controller is non-effective for TYPING words – unless one is too L.A.Z.Y. to just learn how to type.
Haha. Next we’ll just choose from pictures and send UTube versions of Graphic Novels to each other.
Pix 1) Hands typing
Pix 2) Face frowning
Pix 3) Naked ass hanging from ski lift
Pix 4) Face LOL!
(Oh wait! I can just I.M./URL-link and turn on the vid cam!)
I am STILL laughing because either Apple has finally gone off the deep end OR they will sell Millions.
I do agree that your shot of the ass was much more enjoyable than that other thing.
Yes we skipped one about somebody getting shot for that reason. We decided it was time to pretend for one night that nobody was getting a gun pointed at them.
Well, this is fun stuff. I understand the tiredness of the mom as time just is so slowing down sucking my physical energy down the drain but releasing such awesome pictures in the space between the timeline. But ain’t that little dude a corker. I wish he would have made it to school. Imagine mom waking up and noticing that the car was missing. And thinking now where the hell was I last night and where did I leave my car. I’ve resembled that. She eventually calls the police and reports it stolen, while the child innocently sits in his classroom. He takes the bus home after school and the car is discovered parked at the local school. Of course, then we never would have heard the story.
And how about that buttocks? His 15 minutes of fame, the buttocks heard around the world. Does this once again attest to the strength of nylon. Nylon machinery parts wear down but a nylon rope can pull alot of weight.
Any bard would freak out at the mac book. I am still snail line, so I did not get a chance to watch the video. Perhaps I’ll go to a high speed place tomorrow to take a look see.
Thanks for the fun, only because nobody got hurt I guess.
It looks like these twisted mothers really did make a working prototype of that keyboardless Mac Book. Either that or it’s a great animation. Either way this took months.
