I completely forgot about my snowboarder story when I posted the ski patrolman one. So the same day that story happened, a snowboarder got on the rope two like 3 people behind me. We get to the top, I get off and stop to get my poles in order and I turned around for some reason. Right when I turn around, some snowboarder drops the rope on his board, which catches on his bindings, locking him to the rope (which is going fairly fast). He gets flung into a solid steel pole at the full speed of the rope wrapping his whole body around the pole. The rope stopped for like 15 minutes and he eventually got carried off in a stretcher and I think his board was screwed up.
I couldn't help but laugh. I'm probably going to hell for laughing at someone getting flung into a steel pole at like 10 mph but it was some seriously funny shit.
