Schoolboys save child, 8, with makeshift net after he plunges from ski lift mirror.co.uk

Five schoolboys caught a terrified eight-year-old in a makeshift safety net after he dropped from a ski lift. Quick-thinking Joshua Ravensbergen, 12, and his friends were on the slopes below when the boy slipped from his seat and his dad caught him by the wrist. He said the lift kept going higher and higher until it was too late for the boy to jump to safety. Joshua said they feared he would be hurt if they did not do something to help as adults stood by, so they grabbed the orange fencing and some padding from a pillar and rushed beneath the chairlift. When the boy could no longer hold on, he let himself fall and was safely caught by the boys, who were about 20ft below.
