People of newschoolers, what is your most embarrassing and painful lift fail? My worst lift fail was when I sat on someones pole and fell forward off the lift. What about you?

Last weekend on the chair ahead of me there was a family and they had like a 3 year old kid and he didn't get off at the top so they had to stop the lift and pull him down. That was kinda funny watching the parents flailing around below him waiting for the lifty to grab a ladder
 
I was sitting with my poles under my legs as usual, but when I began to unload at the top they somehow got jammed in the back of the seat. I couldn't get them out, and I couldn't get over them, so as I went down the ramp to get off the chairlift my poles lifted me by the balls and then snapped in half, dropping me like a sack of taters.

I was on the lift when the cable derailed itself at Wilmot, and last year I sat on a lift that stalled for an hour and a half, sucked balls.
 
My buddy and I were just about to get off the lift but he forgot to lift his tips up so his skis dug into the side of the unloading zone and the chairlift tilted back and we both almost fell forward onto our faces. Somehow he got his skis back in front of him and we got off without completely embarassing ourselves, the lifty was pretty pissed though.
 
The tail end of last season, I was getting on the lift and went to sit on my poles, they hit the back of the chair and I got pushed forward off the lift into a puddle. I went home after that.
