A snowboarder who accidentally let go of a ski lift was arrested after fleeing the wreck he created. The unnamed 18-year old was riding up a ski lift in Austria when he lost his grip and plowed into multiple skiers behind him. Video footage uploaded by TikTok user @selimayer shows skiers attempting and failing to avoid tripping over the snowboarder, who only gains momentum. Instead of sticking around to make sure everyone was okay, the teen allegedly glided away from the scene. He was soon found and detained by officers. It is unclear if he will face charges for the icy glide n’ run.
