Someone sent me this newspaper article of a recent fall. Does anyone happen to have anymore information or any idea how he fell?

Does anyone have a picture of the MT. Lincoln lift?

I read somewhere it was unsure if the safety bar was down..Not like the bar does much anyways, its just the mental thought of having it. (Unless it is a newer design)

We refer to those as comfort bars for that reason.

From what I heard via a ski patroller the kid was standing up on the footrest of the comfort bar when he fell. It's second hand info so I can't say for sure it's true but I could see that happening the way those race kids goof off.
