South Lake Tahoe, CA (AP): A family has sued a Lake Tahoe ski resort and other companies over the death of a man who fell from a chairlift at the resort.

Defendants named in the lawsuit filed Thursday in El Dorado County Superior Court include Heavenly Mountain Resort, Terra-Nova LLC and Sampson Rope Technologies.

Rebecca, Patrick and Bryan Dickson seek unspecified damages in connection with the Aug. 31 death of 51-year-old Mark Dickson.

According to the suit, he died after falling from Heavenly's Tamarack Express chairlift, which became entangled with a rope retrieval line from the resort's new ZipRider zip line ride.

The accident also seriously injured Dickson's wife of one month, 47-year-old Rebecca.

Heavenly officials declined to comment.

Yeah, we didn't really think that was possible either, but this video from Stale's sponsors proves it.

After seeing the video, we had to know what was going through Sandbech's mind when he stomped the new trick...
