Who knew spectating at a cross country skiiing event could be so dangerous?

As we're sure you know, the  FIS Nordic World Ski Championships are currently taking place in Falun, Sweden. Today the 30km event was on and one eagle-eyed viewer spotted a rather amusing incident in the background of proceedings. One very eager fan tried to run alongside the skiier but contrived to run straight into a tree at full speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VfA126C8tE
