yeah same, i thought there would be way more carnage though, like wouldn't the chair land on top of your legs or something? i dunno thats what i always though
or on you! like if it lands on your back you're fucked, i think i would probably try to jump off it as far as possible if i had enough time but damn i'd be so scared of chair lifts after that.
part of the reason they have the bars on the ski lift is so if your really high up you cant jump off so when it hits the ground it snaps your back/ neck and you die. then they dont have to pay for your health insurance for the rest of your life.
