Spectrum SportsNet LA reporter David Vassegh For real wanted to take a ride on Bernie Brewer’s slide at American Family Field with the Los Angeles Dodgers in town to take on the Milwaukee Brewers.

Well, Vassegh did indeed take the slide and things didn’t go well.
Vassegh – that “Holy crap!” shouted repeatedly as he went down the slide – crashed hard at the end.
Dodgers announcers Joe Davis and Nomar Garciaparra burst out laughing when replays of the incident were shown on Spectrum SportsNet LA during Wednesday night’s Dodgers-Brewers game.
Struggling to speak — and give game-for-game of the game — Davis said, “First off, I want to report that he’s okay.”
Viewers soon found out that wasn’t entirely true. Davis (still laughing hysterically) said, “Dave?”
The cameras then turned to Vassegh, who had a cast on his right arm, sparking even more laughter from Davis and Garciaparra.
Vassegh explained that he had fractured his right hand/wrist, as well as six broken ribs (he explained the injuries in the moments after the next clip).
This is incredible television:

Vassegh said he has two fractures in his right hand/wrist and six broken ribs.
“Skinny fat body can’t handle it,” Vassegh added.
He thanked Justin Turner, Cody Bellinger, David Price and #Evaders trainers to watch out for him. https://t.co/xsFDR80ETh

In Davis and Garciaparra’s defense, it’s very hard to watch the slide video and not laugh!
Vassegh had a great sense of humor about the painful incident, and kudos to him for still carrying out reporting duties.
