And the view from the actual camera itself. I bet that would have hurt. Going at a fair rate when it hit him
ive always said at the etihad they look dodgy as fuck and are an accident waiting to happenSomeone dropped a major bollock there. Apparently, the "spidercam" operator has been "stood down" for the remainder of the test. The rules in place stipulate that the camera can't come any lower than 3.5 metres from the ground during play. And can only go lower when players are being interviewed, and the camera is stationary.
The camera weighs about 8kg, apparently. If that hits you from behind, when you're not expecting it, it's going to knock you to the ground. And if it hits you on the head, it could be a very serious injury (Nortje was hit on the shoulder, according to reports, and was okay to resume).ive always said at the etihad they look dodgy as fuck and are an accident waiting to happen

If that happens, and the camera becomes a heavy pendulum, and hits someone on the head, it could have serious consequences.i always imagine the cable snapping
