Everyone has looked down from the highest point of a chairlift and thought, “Damn, it would suck to fall from up here.”

We were directed to this video from Twitter, and we have to say that this is gnarly. Explained in a video posted by the individual that recorded the original clip, his friend was attempting to throw a snowball and slipped off the chair, leaving him hanging for 2–3 minutes. During that time he unstrapped his board and eventually fell what is claimed to be 45 feet, resulting in a fractured skull, lacerated liver, collapsed lung and a concussion.

Messing around on the chairlift is fun. But don’t be a moron.
