So it sounds like because of two relatively common occurrences that got major media attention the ski hill has to shut down? It's very sad the kid fell and had to be airlifted to the hospital but that's not the ski area's fault (at least, I'd assume). And then the chairlift breaks and people start jumping off because they can't wait to be evaced? How is that even newsworthy?
Maybe there's a lot more to the story...?

Blue Hills Ski Area has been temporarily shuttered following two lift-related incidents. On Monday, a seven year old child fell out of a chair and was airlifted to a local hospital. Three days later, riders jumped from chairs during an extended breakdown of the lift.
