Hey, dum dum. Driving is inherently dangerous, too. Do you think we should ditch seatbelt requirements?

All chair lifts in the state should have safety bars. If cities can require your backyard deck to have a railing, why can't they require a simple safety bar on something that goes upwards of 50 feet in the air?

I agree.

Lets build a high speed six pack across the continental divide and expect no one to fall of ever! In all seriousness, skiing is inherently dangerous: did you ever think giving four year olds double edged knives, pretending like they can regulate their speed, and not turning around to wave to their friends was an inherently accident-free job? *skiing emoji*

It is sad that we need a bill to ensure our kids safety at the mountains. But I 100% support this bill if it means our children will be kept safe. Given the increased numbers at the mountains, the lack of training of the lifties, the young ages of the lifties, parents are only trying to do what we can to ensure our kids have the ability to continue to learn to ski at a young age, but safely. Thank you for your consideration.

My daughter fell off a chairlift at Eldora. She never got properly seated because the girl next to her got her poles stuck in the chair frame. My kid held on as long as she could, but ultimately fell 25 feet, breaking her ankle. It could have been much worse as she landed within 5 feet of an exposed t-post. There was one lift operator, who was completely oblivious to everyone screaming and yelling at my kid hanging off the chair. He never did stop the lift.

Put the safety bars on all lifts that do not have them!

My 6 yr old loves skiing, but, is now afraid he's going to fall off of the lifts. Please, help us to keep skiing safe and fun.

Eldora and all ski areas nationally, why do we need a petition to keep our kids safe!? Vote with your dollars, like I did, and ski at Copper!

Wouldn’t it be the parents responsibility of what they let their children ride? I don’t think that responsibility should be taken away from the parent and put on the ski resort operators.

We have all kinds of height and age requirements for other activities (water slides, roller coasters, car seats), I don't think it would be too much of a shock to the system to add height and age requirements for children riding without adults. Adults seem necessary as chaperones until children can safely reach the bar and lower it without having to strain. And please, bars on all lifts. Adults like them too!
