Default poor cheerleader

So i was covering a football game. After a TD this cheerleader runs out to do some flips but misses. I thought I would get a couple cool photos I could add to the online gallery, but poor girl missed her hands on the grass and this happened....... fortunately she was ok.





faceplant

How awful! She completely face planted! It's good that she's OK because it does look totally painful.

Auch.
That must have been sore.
Pitty that the capture worked out as it did.
Better luck next time.
Wonderful series of pictures.

I had the textbook case of mixed emotions when I saw this series: I laughed, and then instantly felt bad about doing so.

Very nice set (of a very unfortunate event).

Hopefully she'll be laughing about it soon as well! Poor girl!
Great capture!

Nice moment captured, but I think the picture is quite not interesting.
Nothing special.
