What I was thinking, the chances of them throwing in a ball over in that area when that happened was extremely unlucky but could have easily killed someone if the players/ref were just moved a foot or two.

I was expecting some light to fall straight down. It surprised me how violent that was.

100 million is where id start. That guy is going to have a long road ahead of him...if he even gets to keep his leg. That thing just wrecks his leg. You can tell he immediately passes out from the pain.

that would probably exceed all the insurance and money available for the school district

eta maybe a large company installed the pole but still 100 million? i doubt that

He's still moving on the ground when the video ends, did you need to make it more dramatic or something?

How did that pole breaking not make enough noise for anyone to be warned though? Bizarre.

I like watching the goalie. Barely even moves.

Im sure there were gasps in the crowd and some “watch outs!”

But I dont think anyone is thinking that a huge pole is falling right on them after whatever noise it made ya know.
