Skiers rescue child dangling from chairlift using makeshift cushion

A group of skiers banded together to save a child who was dangling from a chairlift.

Pedro José Ruiz Tamaral, 47, was skiing at the Valdesquí ski resort in Spain last weekend (March 15) when he heard someone screaming for help.

Turning around, he saw a child clinging to the chairlift barrier, his legs dangling in the air.

Pedro immediately began shouting to alert the staff, who quickly stopped the ski lift.

A video shows a group of 10 skiers gathering beneath the child, holding a makeshift cushion to catch him.
