A frightening scene at a Utah ski resort was caught on camera.
 
A boy became stuck when his backpack caught on the lift when he tried to get off. 
 
The lift stopped so rescuers could get him down, but the straps on the backpack were causing pain in his arms. 
 
Ski patrol tried to comfort the boy during the rescue. 
 
Minutes later ski patrol used a harness and ladder to rescue the boy and get him to safety.
