NEAR KELLOGG, Idaho-- Authorities said a 26-year-old man died Saturday after falling out of a gondola car at the Silver Mountain Ski & Summer Resort near Kellogg, Idaho.
The Shoshone County Sheriff’s Office said local authorities received calls about the fall around 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
A preliminary report suggested the man climbed out a small window of the moving gondola car despite repeated warnings by his companion to get back inside. Authorities, along with resort staff, were able to locate the victim who had extensive injuries. Medical personnel pronounced him dead shortly after arriving on scene. Due to the steep, rocky terrain and darkness, emergency crews stayed on the scene until daylight when it was safe to recover the body.
Investigators said they will continue looking at the case and further information would be released when family members have been notified.

Sounds like true Darwinisim at work.
"Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish—a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found a way to live out where the real winds blow—to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky, and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested . . . Res ipsa loquitur (it speaks for it self). Let the good times roll." HT
