8-Year-Old Girl Survives 25 Foot Fall From Ski Lift After Slipping From Family’s Grasp

An 8-year-old girl was captured in dramatic video dangling from a ski lift before falling 25 feet to the ground. Shiloh, her mom Sharisse and big sister Belle were skiing on Maine’s Sugarloaf Mountain when the incident happened. She knew her daughter would not be able to hold on much longer. At that point I just yelled down to them, ‘She’s slipping! She’s slipping!’” Rescuers and volunteers scrambled and held a catch net under her. Although Shiloh hit the ground hard, she wasn’t seriously injured.
