The Olympics are all fun and games, until someone suffers an intense crash.

In this case, Austrian alpine ski races Matthias Mayer fell during the men's alpine combined, running over a cameraman in the process.

Some people enjoy watching the crashes, because they are reminded of the fact that no one, not even an Olympic athlete, is perfect.

But in this case, I just hope he's OK.
