A sound guy working for Fox Sports during its coverage of an NFL game between the Minnesota Vikings and the Arizona Cardinals has learnt the hard way on getting in the players’ way.

Bernie Beaudry was caught on camera dashing across the exit of the players’ tunnel just as the Minnesota Vikings came running out onto the field, only to be blindsided (accidentally) by 150kg defensive linesman Linval Joseph.

Here’s the hit from a couple of different angles:

To his credit though, Beaudry dusted himself off after the sickening collision and got straight back to work, carrying only a few scratches to his face.
