I watched the video that a skier was skipped from the lift and was hanging. The ski patrols pulled the big pad up and the skier went down. His bones broken. Is the big pad not safe because bones break? Is there any other to be safe?

That is one way to skin a cat. It is better than landing on the hardpack.

I was gonna say something along what Aug said. It could have been a situation where there was going to be a fall that is unavoidable and putting a big pad under the person is a better fall protection than falling on a hard snowpack. Is he sitting on the chair or hanging onto the chair?

Hard to see the skier hanging or skipped on the video.
