Boy dangling from ski lift caught on camera

Shocking footage has surfaced of an 11-year-old boy who slipped from a ski lift chair about 10 meters above the ground.

His parents can be seen clinging onto him to stop him plummeting down the mountain and while the boy hangs on, tourists, the young boy himself, and his parents face an agonising wait for emergency services to arrive.

The young boy eventually dropped down onto a mattress thanks to a team from mountain rescue.
