This Steeplechase Race Involves One of the Funniest Bloopers You’ll Ever See

Here’s a tip (free of charge!): if you’re running a 3,000-meter steeplechase, don’t trip. Otherwise, you’ll slam into a barrier.
“I was seeing stars,” BYU senior Katy Andrews writes on her YouTube page, “I smacked my head and my thigh. The head bled; the thigh bruised.”
Andrews definitely deserves some credit: she not only uploaded the video to YouTube, which shows she’s a good sport, but she also managed to do two more laps before her coaches made her take a knee, which shows she’s made of fairly tough stuff.
But most importantly, she gave us a good laugh (and that’s what really matters). In fact, let’s see her dive from a different angle:
A photographer captured the moment, frame-by-glorious-frame.
“I just happened to be there with a GoPro HD Hero 2 waterproof camera shooting video for a review I’m writing of the camera,” Jaren Wilkey writes, “and it caught the whole crash.”
And now that we have an image-by-image breakdown of Andrews’ spill, “it’s obvious that, just after it happened, Andrews might have been laughing harder than anybody. Good for her,” writes Deadspin’s Dom Consentino.

Posted on May 5, 2012 at 11:54amActually… not that funny. I felt bad for her… sure that smarted. Usually like slapstick people walking into thing kind of stuff. But didn’t work for me here. I suppose our sense of humor is different for as all… and at different times. Oh well.

It was more education to try to run it in slow motion. She saw it. She prepared to jump. Then I think she hesitated.

She was laughing, but at the start other than having 1 arm out when she is falling you wonder how bad it was going to be.

Posted on May 4, 2012 at 4:40pmI‘m glad she wasn’t hurt and seems to have a good attitude about it. I agree. For “slapstick humor” to be funny timing is everything….it’s just a little too out of sync to be hilarious.

Posted on May 4, 2012 at 4:21pmSometimes baddoggy we need to laugh. I read so much news that I am pretty much saying screw it our nation is lost. The news doesn’t always have to be serious. I appreciate The Blaze tossing out light hearted items every now and then. Laugh now, because we sat in the ever heating pot too long and soon there will be nothing to laugh about.
