A group of teenagers ended up coming to the rescue of an eight-year-old boy who almost fell from a chairlift onto the snow at a Vancouver ski resort.
The eight-year-old slipped and was left grasping and dangling from the side of a chair-lift on Grouse Mountain some 25-feet in the air as he held onto his father.
One of the teenagers, 14-year-old James Macdonald, told CNN he didn't think the boy could hold on for very long, but his quick-thinking saved the boy from serious injury.
