@@ilovfood In modern society, there is something called the bystander effect, meaning, if there is a large group of people watching someone being attacked or even dying, they assume someone else will jump in and do something, so they just watch and do nothing. Cell phone recording has taken this form of insanity to a whole new level, "devolution" of human consciousness. You are right, it's more than sad, it's horrific. Lucky for him, his friends and the patrols were not these kind of people, they did everything they could, and it worked. Many times, it doesn't.

Gosh! He doesn't think he's a hero..he caught the knife on the first try! And does this with a broken hand! What a hero! Wow, I love his humbleness. I'm sitting here crying for joy,..bless him!❤️😀
This is how we need to treat each other!! Step in to help when someone is in need. Life is fleeting and can be taken from us in a second.

I am in awe of the slackliner....never heard of this before. What a hero. Why have I not heard of this before. God bless you young man for your bravery and skill.
Guy, u r a real hero with a broken hand u pulled off an incredible rescue that's a gutsy move as a former USCG RESCUE SWIMMER I take my hat off to you. U got to love a quick-thinking friend with balls of steel...wow, ur the real deal.
Same thing happened to me,...my waist strap got caught and I couldn’t get off the lift....I just had to ride it down and get yelled at lol I was lucky compared to this guy. I changed to a shoulder strap inside of my coat
God saves so few. How many die per day around the world of lack of clean drinking water alone? If God were good, wouldn't he inspire lift designers to make seats that can't allow a person to dangle like that? Couldn't God have moved the victim to buckle his backpack?
@@Well_possibly You're just trolling anyone who makes any mention of Him. Though he is always there, He is only visible to those with eyes to see - that is all you are experiencing. I know that doesn't make much sense to you, but maybe I can pray for you.
@@erikadelgado206 horrible things happen to people that are religious as well though. the other poster had serious questions though, isn't it good to be skeptic of things?
@@Iris-fp4uk I don't understand your argument. @well possibly was leaving these kinds of responses on at least 5 different comments that I saw - one or two is mere curiosity and 5 or more becomes trolling. Why do you, or anyone, believe that they are entitled to anything, whether it be God's protection or anything else? The fact is that God does not owe anyone anything. Human beings are to blame here - don't blame Him. I don't believe God has the power to simply end all suffering - and if he did what would you have him do just zap out ALL evil from the world? He would kill us ALL off because we are all sinners in one way or another... you don't get to choose which sinners get to stay.. The fact is our suffering is a direct result of our own actions. Sometimes we suffer for the actions of other human beings, yes. And we do believe that sometimes He does intervene, yes. However, I think this is done for a much larger purpose than what can be explained here. I think there are many legitimate reasons for the existence of suffering, such as being a catalyst for growth and development. How can one grow and learn to be compassionate without witnessing or experiencing the opposite? Eastern philosophies and religions understand this - as ying and yang. Again, why some people think we are entitled to pick and choose is beyond me. It does not make some atrocities RIGHT - but do not blame GOD - blame MAN. Okay?
I just didn't realize that religion was supposed to be some kind of protection from evil and suffering. I always understood religion to be a guiding source to understanding ourselves, the world, and the experience of suffering. It is a framework with which we can develop as human beings to our fullest potential and highest good.
Slackliners sit many times.....even bouncing wildly, going from sitting to standing over and over, flying over 5 feet vertically. Plus the downhill slope of the cable may have made it a little easier for him to scoot along. I'm not saying it wasn't amazing, because it was!
This guys quick thinking, and expertise in the fast response. Saved the other man’s life! Had they waited for a real mountain rescue team. He certainly would have died. A real hero.
So god gets the credit for the rescue but not for the accident that allowed the guy to be hung by his neck from a chair lift? How does that make sense?. Wasn’t the accident part of “God’s plan” too then? caused by your god for a prank of some sort? Religious people are freaking nuts.
Judy Ives I truly feel sorry for you and your generation. You'll wish you changed your ways when you spend eternity in hell for your blasemy you Anti-Christ. Repent before it's to late, you still have time.
@@surferxblood Hey, have you ever done a deep study on hell? Good news is God doesn't torment anyone for all eternity. The wicked will be burned up in the lake of fire. I know there are verses that speak like an eternal fire but do a full study and you'll see it 🙌. Besides, we want to win souls to Christ by loving on them. God bless you and I hope my words will be well received into your heart.
Super cool! As a MTB'er my friends and I have been hurt many times over the decades. It's at these moments that you see what you and others around you are really made of. After a crash nobody laughs until we know the person is ok. I would be proud to call this guy my friend and he can ride with me anytime.
No, it was just a set of totally natural circumstances that happened to coincide. Imaginary friends don’t exist. Magic isn’t real. There is only the natural world, and there is only good evidence of the natural world. There is not a single shred of good evidence for anything other than the natural world. It’s time to stop believing in primitive fairy tales and superstitions that are so foolish and silly that young children regularly see through them.
Jesus Fried Christ - ??? Where did I say magic is real? I’m sorry life has been so awful to you to have made you so hateful and cynical. You’re in my prayers.
Stu Str - I disagree. Based on the vitriol in his reply, he equates a faith in God with belief in magic. In actuality, they are vastly different things. That was no figure of speech.
Holy shit I never heard of this goddamn LEGEND AND HERO! Also A-basin knows wtf they are doing, this was not a problem with the resort. That Micky is a badass through and through
While I get your point you have to admit that lift served skiing at areas does involve a bit of the technocracy. Don't get me wrong I live simply and ski often but it does take some technological science and engineering to make that stuff happen.
you can see the excitement in his face when he realizes theres finally a real life application for the skill hes been working on for years that everyone told him was a waste of time;)
But how do you know thats the actual reason he looked excited? I think he was simply proud of himself, and deserved.
So true
And another thing is he went skiing solo that day and by chance the bunch of friends were there, so it's such a weird experience all round

No, that was just a couple of lucky and totally natural coincidences that happen all the time. Imaginary friends don’t exist.
So god gets the credit for the rescue but not for the accident that allowed the guy to be hung by his neck from a chair lift? How does that make sense?. Wasn’t the accident part of “God’s plan” too then? caused by your god for a prank of some sort?
Religious people are freaking nuts.

I truly feel sorry for you and your generation. You'll wish you changed your ways when you spend eternity in hell for your blasemy you Anti-Christ. Repent before it's to late, you still have time.
@@surferxblood Hey, have you ever done a deep study on hell? Good news is God doesn't torment anyone for all eternity. The wicked will be burned up in the lake of fire. I know there are verses that speak like an eternal fire but do a full study and you'll see it 🙌. Besides, we want to win souls to Christ by loving on them. God bless you and I hope my words will be well received into your heart.
@@truthbebold4009 It doesn't say, 'burned up." It's say's, thrown in the lake of fire. And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Super cool! As a MTB'er my friends and I have been hurt many times over the decades. It's at these moments that you see what you and others around you are really made of. After a crash nobody laughs until we know the person is ok. I would be proud to call this guy my friend and he can ride with me anytime.
2:17 . . . True words. It was a God-appointed moment in time.
No, it was just a set of totally natural circumstances that happened to coincide. Imaginary friends don’t exist. Magic isn’t real. There is only the natural world, and there is only good evidence of the natural world. There is not a single shred of good evidence for anything other than the natural world. It’s time to stop believing in primitive fairy tales and superstitions that are so foolish and silly that young children regularly see through them.
Jesus Fried Christ - ??? Where did I say magic is real? I’m sorry life has been so awful to you to have made you so hateful and cynical. You’re in my prayers.
Figure of speech. As if he meant it.
Stu Str - I disagree. Based on the vitriol in his reply, he equates a faith in God with belief in magic. In actuality, they are vastly different things. That was no figure of speech.
@@JesusFriedChrist , wheres your evidence God ISNT real?
Selfless act. True hero.
Holy shit I never heard of this goddamn LEGEND AND HERO! Also A-basin knows wtf they are doing, this was not a problem with the resort.
That Micky is a badass through and through
Be selfless like this Man who saved him.
Right place at the right time, with the right skill set of a damn good slackliner.
Mickey has the biggest balls I've ever seen!! Your one badass dude!!
We need more people like this , people if you see someone who fell /who needs help! HELP THEM ASAP
Wow we need more news like this! Great rescue,for a very courageous rescuer! All thanks go to him for not even hesitating one minute to do so👏👏
"I can do this!"
thank you for showing us what a hero really is
Stories like this need to remind us to get back to our roots and stop the technocracy
The people behind the technocracy have different roots.
Yes, I agree. Such a simple but great comment. It’s true.
While I get your point you have to admit that lift served skiing at areas does involve a bit of the technocracy.
Don't get me wrong I live simply and ski often but it does take some technological science and engineering to make that stuff happen.
Why and how did you link the two? I'm not following your logic at all.
You're against people in power knowing what they're doing? Genius...
We all need a friend like that💗😎👍
