The Smoking Gun got the drop on this New Year’s Day mishap at Colorado’s Vail ski resort, which the cheeky site says “will surely lead to litigation (or an out-of-court settlement)”. An unidentified 48-year-old man riding the lift at Blue Sky Basin wound up dangling by one ski, naked from the waist down, when the chair malfunctioned. A child riding with him had to cling to the upended seat until workers reversed the lift and rescued them several minutes later. TSG has photos taken by other skiers, one of whom may lose his job as a photographer, the Vail Daily reports. The paper ran a revealing photo that has since gone viral on the Net, and many readers have complained.
I’m certain the lift operators suppressed their laughter for a minute or so. More embarrassing moments from The Smoking Gun.
Oh come on!! From the back you can’t tell, but even the guy it happened to must be laughing … cold … but laughing.
Oh a naked but. SKANDAL!
Any lawsuit would result from the malfunctioning chair lift, not the picture. The photographer would be fired because he sold the picture to outside agencies without his employer’s permission or cut.
In the first photo on TSG, you can see his wiener.
Surely this is NSFW and all links should be labeled as such.
I work in a nunnery that doesn’t take to kindly to viewing that organ.
Ok, there is one pic that is a little bit more ‘genital’ on the smoking gun site.
Nothing to sue over, but not quite appropriate. Especially regarding that they never showed his face.
“In the first photo on TSG, you can see his wiener.”
Ummm- I didn’t see that but I wasn’t looking that hard.
At that temperature, there isn’t a lot to photograph. Trust me on this one.
If it were me I’d find the photo pretty damn funny (once I got down)…
Well, thanks to his lawsuit, he will be forever linked – thanks to Google – to that picture with his name.
Had he kept his mouth shut and not sue, perhaps I never would have chuckled at his futile attempts at redemption.
I just wish we had a clearer view of Pedro’s face !
I doubt the guy was laughing at the time, rather scared. He’s lucky he with crap running down his back, or rather up his back. Its confusing but you know what I mean.
#7. Major Shrinkage!!!!!
#11, Who? “dro?
People have complained? and…”I work in a nunnery that doesn’t take to kindly to viewing that organ”…what kind of bs is that?
Grow up…it is a part of the way we were created… A part of our body. And for sure nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed to see. I just can’t understand these people.
