Hanging on a thread

A 12-year-old skier had a chair lift ride he'll never forget on Saturday in Park City, Utah. Anthony Trabert was about to get off when his backpack straps got caught on the safety bar. The lift kept going, and soon Anthony was dangling almost 30 feet above the ground, outside the lift. He finally wiggled out of the backpack and fell down. The snow and powder on the ground broke his fall.
