A member of the chain crew at last week's CFL game between the Hamilton Tiger Cats and Saskatchewan Rough Riders had a bit of an embarrassing moment as he tripped over the stick he was carrying and bent it in the process.
Watch here as the chain crew jogs down the field to position themselves for the start of the next offensive play. The stick that one of the men was carrying gets accidentally planted into the ground, causing him to step on the stick and bend it as he tripped over it. Fortunately the stick was still usable, even with a bend in it.
It's a bit of a trade off to be a member of the "chain gang". You have the best seat in the house for the game, but if you make a mistake or have an embarrassing moment like this one, everyone sees it.
