Whoa, looks like somebody heard footsteps, and by footsteps I mean the ball bounced near him and clearly caught him off guard. Got to stay on your toes, and most importantly your feet, out there sound guy. Keep your head, and your satellite dish, on a swivel. Either that or you risk being responsible for the most unenthusiastic mic drop in the history of mic drops.
I want to feel bad for him, but it's too funny for me to truly be sympathetic. You remember that YouTube video of the woman getting hit in the head with a shovel? On the surface it was funny, but the sound that it made when shovel hit skull made it hilarious. Kind of reminds me of this. If I only had video of this guy falling it would only be worthy of a smile, but add on the fact that his job requires him to be mic'd up and it becomes an instant classic. Let that be a lesson to you audio guys. If you are going to do something stupid, make sure you aren't loud about it. Just an occupational hazard of the job. I actually may have missed this if the expected sound of the ball landing wasn't followed by a speaker rattling 'thump' out of nowhere. That'll get the eyes and ears on you every time. A kickoff, literally the only time of the game when this guy was going to be seen on the screen AND heard through the speakers and he takes a tumble. I am not a religious man, but that's got to be the Lord's work. Who says the football gods don't have a sense of humor?
