It's not clear but something broke and he fell through and hung up by his skiboot. Someway his pants must have gotten caught as he fell through. I saw a guy(on video) get charged by a bull. As he was flipped over the bulls head the back of his pants caught on a horn and stripped him right out of them. Same with a baseball player (also on video) when he was flipped over a fence. All of these incidents were caught on film so we get to laugh at these poor unfortunates over and over and hope it never happens to us.

If I remember correctly, the baseball player won $110,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos with that video. He had to OK it to be used, so I guess he was OK with it.
These photos make the guys case pretty convincingly, don't they ? Vail Resorts will probably compensate him handsomely.
This just might be one of those when life gives you lemons, make lemonade type situations. I mean, if it's on Drudge, it's everywhere.
