Riding the rope tow at Jay Peak one day. A little tired after just skiing the face chutes, and making my way back to the tram with a buddy. I was having some trouble getting the T-bar between my legs so I could relax. I was looking down, not paying attention to where I was going, and began drifting right.
The problem was that the support poles were also on the right, and soon I was way right of the poles. The T-Bar rope became fully extended, with my body on one side of the pole. Soon it whipped back, taking me with it. About 2 seconds later I landed on the other side of the track, in a bush, having flown 5 feet in the air and about 20 feet across.
Surprisingly I was unhurt, just a little rattled. Funny shit now that I look back on it, but my leg could have been ripped off. Quite embarassing at the time though.
