Dodgers TV presenter David Vassegh suffered seven broken bones after falling live on a park slide.
A baseball announcer lunges down the Bernese Slide at American Family Field before the game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers.
Mr. Vassegh supposedly had discussed going down the slide for several days prior to the match. He ended up with a broken wrist and six broken ribs. According to CBS News.
During Wednesday night’s game, SportsNet L.A. Dodger host Joe Davis said, “I’ve never heard of anyone so excited to do anything, and David did today.”
A video of the ride down the slide shows Mr. Vasig repeatedly shouting “Holy crap!” As he flies down, he finally hits a wall below and starts turning around in pain.
MLB.com noted that this was Vasig’s second trip down the Bernese Cliff. The incident sparked chants of laughter from Davis and teammate Nomar Garciabara.
“hi guys!” Vassegh said while appearing on the field later with his wrist in the cast, he thanked Justin Turner, Mookie Bates and Cody Bellinger as well as the Dodgers staff for his assistance before he could reach the hospital.
He later said that his “thin, fat body could not stand it”, According to CBS.
Dodgers players and the social media team shed light on the incident on their accounts. Mr. Vasig also tweeted about the incident.
Soon Mr. Vasig’s shirts and wristband were available.
Los Angeles catcher Austin Barnes told Mr. Vasig the team “rally rallied for you” after their 2-1 win.
The Dodgers are hoping to finish the series against the Brewers on Thursday afternoon.
