A boy slipped off his seat while riding a ski lift and fell moments later.
After the accident, he was immediately taken to a hospital.
Munich – Most falls on ski slopes end lightly.
The snow is usually a grateful substrate for this.
The fact that the accident described here did not have any serious consequences is probably a stroke of luck.
Because in China, an eight-year-old fell several meters from a chairlift, but escaped without serious injuries.
Among other things, the Newsflare
portal, which specializes in video news, reported on
it.
Boy falls from ski lift: eight-year-old loses his footing and falls several meters deep
The drama at Zhangjiakou Ski Resort was recorded by people sitting in the elevator behind the casualty.
The clip landed on the internet a little later.
You can see the anxious moments after the boy got out of the seat bracket.
Only the ski instructor next to him saved him from falling by holding the child.
But that didn't go well for a long time.
Eventually, the eight-year-old lost his footing and fell several meters down the snow-covered slope.
The eyewitnesses with the cell phone camera cried out in shock.
As they continued several meters above the young snowboarder, it can be seen that he was at least moving while lying on the snow.
