Skier Hangin' Out Pantsless On Lift

Seriously, how does this happen?

They say that the undisclosed man (age 48) fell through the lift after the fold-down seat he was supposed to sit in failed to lower in the right position.

One of the funniest pictures of 2009 so far! But only because he's perfectly OK. Let's just thank God that he wasn't at the top of the mountain or over a deep valley!

And oh ya, this happened over the weekend in Vail, CO., one of the more "ritzier" ski resorts. Kind of makes you wonder how much YOU need to pay to be depantsed in the middle of winter in front of hundreds of people.
