Replying to The craziest thing happend today

Me and a group of about 8 or 9 other guys were skiing at the local hill (Bittersweet) when the craziest thing happend. We were just standing at the top of the terrain park when a girl starts yelling for someone to get help because a kid was dangling from a chair. The kid was pretty small, about 80lbs., and being held by 3 other snowboarders who couldnt seem to pull him back up on the chair. The chair wasn't moving so we skied over, took off our skis and made a circle under the kid, ready to catch him when he fell. Finally, after about 5min. the kid dropped about 20ft. and one of the guys in our group caught him before he hit the ground. Meanwhile the one ski patroller that showed up just stood back and just said 'good job guys.' But what really pissed me off was that earlier that day it was announced by the management that anyone caught doing an invert would be forced to leave and never return for the season. Excuse me, but we just saved their asses from a lawsuit. If that kid had fallen and gotten seriously injured/killed the resort would be screwed.
