Olympic Skateboarder Wipes Out Cameraman In Men's Park Competition
Duuuuuuuude.
Skateboarding comes with a lot of risks – apparently for bystanders, too.
Australian skateboarder Kieran Woolley wiped out during the men’s park competition on Thursday at the Tokyo Olympics and he took a cameraman with him.
Woolley, 17, was finishing his first run during qualifying when he rode atop a rail and zipped straight into a nearby cameraman, knocking him to the ground:

Woolley checked to see if the cameraman was OK. He was, and they smoothed things over with a fist bump.
