From the "okay so maybe excessive celebrations actually do hurt people sometimes" department, a 23 year old Indian soccer player scored a goal and then, to celebrate, did a somersault and came down awkwardly, severely injuring his spine and ultimately killing him.

Unbelievable.

Eh. Camera angle is crappy. Can'y really see anything (which may be a good thing).

Not that it makes that much of a difference but he died at the hospital, not actually on the field. Still horrible.
