Kurt, an avid skier, wanted to clear some wet snow and ice from his chair on the chairlift as it moved toward him from the boarding ramp. He was unable to sit down in time and simply grabbed onto the chair, which began to ascend the mountain. Kurt realized that the longer he held on, the higher the fall would be, so he quickly let go and fell about three metres into an embankment, injuring his right leg. Kurt sued the owner of the ski hill and its employee, the ski-lift operator who failed to stop the chair as soon as she could see that Kurt had not loaded properly.31 On what basis is the ski-lift operator liable? Do you think any judgment Kurt might receive should be reduced? Why?
