Oops.

Great form, terrible timing.

A cheerleader for the Kansas City Chiefs found herself in the wrong sport when she was accidentally knocked down by a camera operator on Sunday.

Before the collision, the cheerleader did a somersault, sending her forward a few feet, and separating herself from the group. The cameraman, who was running across the field at the time, didn't notice, and took her out.

The crowd collectively reacted with a loud "ohhhhhh."

According to local outlet Fox4, the cheerleader is doing OK, and was not seriously injured in the takedown.
