I’ve googled to no avail. Can someone please provide me with a link of the SIU cheerleader and her accident (the girl who fell from the top of the pyramid, and did cheers while strapped to the gurney). TIA By the way, the young woman is from Springfield! 🆒 ---

I’m sorry - I should have been more specific. I’m looking for a video of the actual fall. I actually read the article linked above. On ink and paper, no less. How quaint! ---

[Here](http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/09/26/search/main886284.shtml?searchString=cheerleader&source=cbsvideos&sort=1&type=any&num=10&offset=0). I think. It won’t load right for me, apparently. ---

Or [here](http://www.break.com/index/cheercheer.html). That one appears to work for me (it’s still loading–stoopid dialup). ---

The only video of the actual fall is the above-the-rim camera, which wasn’t focused on her and has the cheerleaders in the extreme top of the frame. After that, of course, the camera folks saw what had happened, so we got better video. ---

[QUOTE=Garfield226] The only video of the actual fall is the above-the-rim camera… [/QUOTE] I caught that on some news program the other day, but I hadn’t been paying attention to it and only got the last couple seconds. Damned if I can find it online anywhere, though. All the news websites have the footage of her being carried out on the stretcher, cheering away.
