Being a television news reporter is a glamorous job. You get to attend all the major events for free, and experience all the late-breaking news firsthand.

However, it can be quite perilous, especially if you’re dumb enough to wander into the middle of an action-packed scene during a live telecast.

Hey, genius: You’re supposed to observe the news, not partake in it. Next time, don’t forget this simple concept, unless you're looking for another 15 minutes of YouTube fame.

Still, the full-body flip this Canadian reporter does when the snow sled collides with him is pretty impressive, and the fact that he continues the broadcast from the ground—before collapsing entirely—is somewhat badass.

So, he earned himself some points back… but not much.
