A 10-year-old boy survived after he fell 30 feet from a chair on a ski lift in Oconomowoc.

Police said the boy was unconscious right after he fell at the Highlands of Olympia ski hill around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday.

He was later in stable condition at Milwaukee Children’s Hospital with a broken arm.

Police Chief Dave Beghun said it did not appear that the ski lift malfunctioned, but investigators are still trying to figure out why the incident occurred.
