Child dangles from chairlift after slipping from seat at ski resort

Story and video from Storyful

A boy escaped injury after he slipped from the seat of a chairlift, and was left hanging onto the side of the car as it slowly moved up a mountain at a ski resort in Canada.

The boy, identified as 12-year-old Liam Gratton, said a quick move that involved adjusting the lift bar resulted in him almost plunging from the car.

Gratton told CTV that he grabbed on to whatever he could and managed to wrap his arm and elbow around the edge of the chairlift and the safety bar, which saved him from falling.

Thankfully, the boy managed to hold on until the chairlift reached the top of the mountain.

See what happens in the video above.
