Via UnoffcialNetworks, here's a terrifying video that might make you think twice about that trip to the ski resort this winter: A snowboarder somehow managed to fall out of a chairlift and was left dangling some 15 feet in the air.

Onlookers were fortunately able to set up a crash landing area (just in case) while the snowboarder was pulled over to a pole and unlatched from his board.
