Ouch! Runaway Skateboard Nails an Aussie Reporter Right in the Head

11.21.2014 | Matt Fox |

Anything can happen during a televised news report…especially when you happen to be reporting from a skate park.

Australian news reporter Mike Amor was recording a piece at Venice Beach in California for Channel Seven, when a young man lost control of his skateboard, sending it plummeting towards the back of Amor’s head. The impact caught the reporter completely by surprise, but apart from the obvious shock, he wasn’t seriously injured.

The real question here is: what happened to the skater?
