Terrifying video shows a 9-year-old boy dangling from a chairlift at a Pennsylvania ski resort.

The incredible footage was shot at Liberty Mountain resort in Fairfield, Adams County around 3:15 p.m on Saturday. People gathered nearly two stories below as the boy flailed his legs with a ski still attached to the lift.

"At the end, they (other chairlift occupants) couldn't pull him, because it would be rocking the lift, or all three of them would fall," Adrian Delgado, the person who shot the video, told ABC News.

As the video shows, the boy ended up falling nearly 20 feet but is expected to be OK. As of this time, it is still unclear what caused the accident, but authorities are still investigating, according to ABC News.
