i watched a noob snowboarder chick track in to one of the lift poles on the tbar at breck...since she was riding a board, she was standing sideways and had the T between her legs. well, she gets caught up behind the support beam but the tbar kept running thus building tension, building tension, building tension....until she finally snapped free and got slung shot about 40+ feet in to the air....she came down flat on her back.
her bf was on the t in front of her, so he had no idea and just kept going. we told him at the top what happened and told ski patrol they needed to get down there NOW because she was not ok...at all. she ended up getting hauled off in a sled...not sure what exactly happened to her, but it definitely wasn't good.
