Jumping from the lift?

Yesterday evening I was having dinner with a friend, and the TVs at the bar were showing what appeared to be clips of news footage where people were jumping off of a ski lift into what appeared to be a life net (or something like it). We couldn't make out where it was happening, and there wasn't any sound. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I saw a little girl dangling off a chair on Sunday (mom hadn't pulled the bar down). Then she fell off but I couldn't see her land due to my angle of view. Just then a cheer went up. Heard later that some guys caught her & she was ok.

That might have been it, but the angle of the video I saw would have been taken in the crowd of people you can see standing in the background.

Now that I see the other links on that page, it was the "5 Year Old Dangles from Ski Lift" that I saw. Thanks, now I know.
