Television cameras caught a scary moment in Friday night’s Washington State at Houston game. On a third-quarter play, ESPN sideline reporter Paul Carcaterra accidentally bumped into a Houston base cheerleader who was holding another cheerleader up in a stunt. The sideline collision caused the base cheerleader to drop the flyer, resulting in a nasty fall to the turf.

The good news is that she’s tweeting that while her head and shoulder were hurt, she’s ok after the fall. She alerted her followers that she got some ESPN airtime.
