SASKATOON --
Skiers and snowboarders at Table Mountain may have witnessed a boy dangling from the chairlift this weekend.
Liam Gratton, 12, said a quick move that involved adjusting the lift bar resulted in him almost falling as it glided over the trails below.
“We were going up and I was shifting over and I slipped off,” Liam said.
Reacting quickly, Liam said he grabbed on to whatever he could and luckily managed to wrap his arm and elbow around the edge of the chairlift and the safety bar, which saved him from falling.
Video from the chairlift behind the Gratton’s surfaced on social media, showing the few minutes Liam dangled before making it to the top of the chairlift. In the video people can be heard encouraging Liam to hang on little longer.
