This is why I don't ski

Because I would end up dangling pantless from the ski lift, like this guy. 

That's just the kind of luck that I have.

I am just grateful this morning that none of my embarrassing mishaps have been captured on film and published worldwide in print and online media.

I'll bet all that cold air caused shrinkage!

I hope he had on clean underware.

I saw this yesterday:

no doubt! (I was in the pool! I WAS IN THE POOL!)

his underwear looked clean

it appeared to be down around his knees, however

wow - that bites.  right at the loading station, too, so very public. 

i understand the dangling, but i really don't understand why his pants came off. 

i had a ski patroller dangling from my chair once.  when he went to unload, a buckle from his pack caught between the slats in the chair.  pants stayed on, though.

OMG I spit out my coffee all over my keyboard!  That poor man!  That would be my luck as well, but I don't ski because I don't like the cold weather.  I tried it a couple of times and was never so wet, cold and miserable in my whole life. Give me a beach, blue water, and palm trees!  That's more my style!

that was my first thought as well and I'm slightly ashamed to say that my next thought was to equate him to some sort of will ferrell character who uses any excuse to become naked

but i have no valid reason to think that, other than not understanding what made his pants AND HIS UNDERWEAR come down 

I love that first picture, how the dude in the yellow seems to be casually walking around and glances up to see a bare ass, like it's nothing unusual.

 His underwear may have been clean when he started...

Way too funny!  Thanks for posting. 

Hah! Thanks for sharing.

The worst part is that they made him wait upsidedown and half naked for a whole 15 minutes while everyone and their mom took pictures. <--Torture!

I bet this poor dude is going to have accidentally-naked-in-public themed nightmares forever.

ha ha ha, how embarrassing! that's a story for the grandchildren if he ever has any, there would be a risk of frostbite.

Here is a follow up story on this: The guy who took the pictures is now in trouble:

well, that sucks for people who want to laugh at the pics, but if I was that guy, I'd be hoping like mad that they win that lawsuit to 'get back' the pictures

- now that millions and millions of people have seen them in print and online
