"saftey" bar is an illusion, in particular for the smaller folks for whom it's not designed. Good work by the folks below.

Yikes. I don't know who was more terrified, the boy or his father.

Awesome rescue job!

The article says he was 25 feet up... perhaps it's 25' from bare ground to the top of the lift tower, but that fall was maybe 1/2 that distance.

Still cool.
