LIVE NEWS: INJURING PEOPLE SINCE 1949

The other day I posted a video featuring a field reporter injuring herself during a live segment. And today, I found this clip from a local news station in Houston, Texas. It seems the KPRC news team wanted to feature a bit of cheerleading on their live broadcast. And what better location to do a cheerleading segment then the hard pavement of Westfield High School? And you can't feature a cheerleading squad on television without seeing a basket toss, right?

NOTE: I've already researched the clip and found out that the girl (you're about to see) is fine. The details are included, post-clip.

Wow, that's some quick thinking and tact by the two anchors huh? Christ, Ron Burgundy ad-libs better than this.

The post-fall story on the Shauna Luke:

"Shauna's doing very well," Principal Dr. Julie Guillory said. "She's very spirited. She's looking forward to the game tonight."

Luke said the fall was a bad accident.

"It felt like the ground just whoop in the back of my head. It hurt at first, but it was like a shock to me. But, then after I got it together, I came back to my regular step and I was fine," she said.

Luke plans to be on the sidelines as Westfield takes on Cy Falls Friday night.

When will we finally wake up to the evil that is the "live remote"?
