Strong storm in an Italian resort. The explosion threw the skater from the chair

A serious accident occurred on Thursday on the slope of the Matterhorn on the border between Italy and Switzerland. One of the skiers described in an interview with the British newspaper “Daily Mail” that the wind was blowing them in all directions. “It was the scariest experience of my life,” Stephanie Burt said.

— At one point, the chair on the left was literally a centimeter away from us. The skater added: We thought about jumping and breaking our legs. The woman and her friend were eventually able to reach the top of the mountain.

Shocking footage from the cliff. The wind knocked him from his chair

The media circulated recordings of the storm. You can see the ski lift and the wind is swinging in all directions. There are people on some benches.

In one of the videos, you can see a skater clinging to chairs that are thrown at him. But in the end he loses the battle against the elements and falls from the height.

The author of the recording said: “The man was taken to the hospital, but after the accident it was clear that he could walk on his own.”
