CTV News reports that Lakhiam Great took her life’s journey on Table Mountain in Canada over the weekend.
But the 12-year-old snowboarder did not make it to his cherrylift ride on the Saskatoon Ocean.
what happened?
Liam told CTV that after a quick lift bar adjustment he simply “slipped” off the chair. Her older brother Luke noticed at the station that the safety belt had been removed too early.

Either way, Liam was able to grab the edge of the chariotlift before it fell, CTV reported – and was forced to stop by a trip above the tripod.

Seeing the whole thing as Aaron Ron Arcand and friend boarded the elevator behind Liam, the station said: “Suddenly we all saw a little boy looking in front of us, and I think he got it too. Closer to the side and slipped.”
Like everyone else who witnessed the scary moment, they watched as much as they could and encouraged Liam.
“There was nothing we could do, we just had to sit there,” Arkande told CTV. “I started telling the boy, ‘Just hang on, don’t let go, just trap the man, don’t let the bus go.’ It was an intense, traumatic feeling. ”
Arkand also pulled out his phone and recorded the ordeal, the station said.

Arkand added to CTV that once he reached the top, too, he examined Liam and praised him for the strength of his upper body.
So, how can we tell mom?
Liam’s mother, Kaila Great, told the station that when she got home, her sons informed her about Lim’s adventure – but she didn’t understand much. Then she saw a clip that was already circulating fast on social media, and then she understood it all well.
“I looked at him, and I saw him, and I was sick and sick of the thought of what would have happened if he had fallen down.”

Reliance Bluin, general manager of Table Mountain, told the station he was relieved that Liam was on his side: “Thank God, because it could be a very serious incident.”
