Another skier on the ground recorded the tense moments that came next as the carrier moved past. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She accidentally slipped and was really falling,&#8221; Raizel said. &#8220;My friend was screaming at her, stop wiggling. She was in panic mode.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reels\/DVKOpE2gY06\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a> shows Raizel holding onto her sister, suspended with outstretched arms from the carrier.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My body was in so much pain,&#8221; Roula said. &#8220;I was so scared.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I looked down and kept seeing my death.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pierce Mayer watched on in shock as he recorded <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reels\/DVKOpE2gY06\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I was watching each of the chairs come over the hill,&#8221; Mayer said. &#8220;That lift starts down the hill. The girl could have been hanging do way longer than it looks like in the video.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ski resort personnel said the chain of events unfolded at about 3 p.m. when proper safety protocols were not followed and a skier became suspended from a carrier. Resort officials said no injuries were reported, but added the video shows why those safety protocols are in place.<\/p>\n<p>Raizel said she tried to do a pull-up as the lift was going up the slope. When her sister tried to do the same, she slipped off, Raizel said.<\/p>\n<p>Roula eventually was safely lowered to the ground.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I love my sister and my friend,&#8221; Roula said. &#8220;I\u2019m so thankful they saved me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Frightening moments were captured on video when a skier slipped and dangled by her arms from a moving&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":195692,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48637,48,52,51,47,50,49,14390],"class_list":["post-195691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-big-bear","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-skiing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195691"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195691\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/195692"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195691"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195691"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
